Hi all.

So to provide some context. Me and my girlfriend came as students to Canada two years ago. One year ago we decided to get married. I know that any work experience gained as a student does not count for Canadian Experience Class. But my question is the following. Is the work experience she accumulated from the moment we got married (even though she was still a student, but now married) valid for the Canadian experience class? Bear in mind she is not the main applicant, I will be.

No. She was still a student.

lol getting married did not change her status from being a student. Get that concept out of your mind. You need a work permit (application) for work to count towards PR. That's it.
