Work experience counted towards CEC if I have both, a PGWP and Study Permit?

[MaazKhurram]

I completed my Bachelors and got a 3-year PGWP after graduation. I am currently doing a full-time job in Canada on PGWP and collecting work experience for CEC.

Meanwhile, I also wanted to start my Masters degree (PART-TIME) while keeping my full-time job in parallel. My PGWP says I am not allowed to study at all. So for part-time study, it seems I have to apply for a study permit.

My question: If I am working full-time and studying part-time (and hold both, PGWP and Study Permit), will such full-time work experience count towards my CEC?

In other words, from CEC perspective, will my work experience be seen as "student work experience" (not applicable for CEC) , or will it be seen as "valid work experience gained under PGWP" ?

I am in pretty much the same boat as you. Have you got any answers for this from IRCC or otherwise?

Are you able to hold both a PGWP and study permit at the same time?

I am interested in doing something similar. Currently working full time on PGWP, but wish to study some more.

Let us know if you receive any answers.
