Does doing an internship in the US on a J-1 visa count as foreign work experience for someone on a study permit?

As the title says, does working in the US on a J-1 count as work experience? I know co-ops in Canada don't count for the Canadian Experience Class PR thing, but would J-1 experience count for the Federal Skilled Works program?

As long as you were paid, yes.
