Hi guys,

I have 2 correspondence university degrees. Correspondence has different meaning in my country that in Canada. We had to go school 2-3 times a month (1/3 less time, than the regular students), at the weekend. So it is similar than the part time study in Canada. It is for people who are working. So I was able to work 40 hours beside the school. I got WES for one of the degrees. I did not ask for the other, due to I had enough points. My question is, express entry will count work experience during I was studying? Does anybody has similar issue?

Yes that experience counts.

Thank you so much guys. I really appreciate. It is clear now. work experience can not be counted only if somebody is a full time student. I was not full time. So it counts. I checked the links which you suggested. Thanks again. I can sleep well tonight.:)
