WORKING FULL TIME FOR INDIAN COMPANY IN INDIA WHILE DOING MASTERS IN US?

[Manpreetsiengh]

Can I consider experience working for an Indian company in India full time(remotely working from US) while I was doing my Masters in the US?

I understand the criteria is one year continuous, 1560 hours to qualify for the Express Entry Criteria. I've been working for an Indian company which is headquartered in India but staying in the US myself. Would that still qualify?

I have all the documents including experience letter, references and payslips

IMO, you'll be able to show either education or job and not both.
Paid internship is considered, however I doubt if part time job while study will be accepted.
Check out this link, now the big question is even if you're allowed to use this work experience, under which category this experience will fall into... FULL TIME or PART TIME
IMO, it can be allowed under PART TIME, because of ongoing Masters....
FULL TIME EXPERIENCE = 2 X PART TIME EXPERIENCE.
1560 hours = 30 hours (FT) X 1 year = 15 hours (PT) X 2 years

Lets wait for others to comment on this situation.

I don't get that restriction, I was working full time with a company and doing a masters degree as a full time student by distance with France. Why is it such a problem or a no-no? I mean personally I worked twice as hard to do that only to find that one of them won't count?

I already posted my question on a different but no one answered me yet. I have a total of 5 years work experience during which I studied full time for 3. This is starting to worry me!
