Hi All,

I did one year internship here in Canada during my PhD and after finishing all my courses. So based on CIC definition:
"A Person must be in Class for 15 hours per week to be considered a full time student", I was not a full time student during the internship. I have more than 3 years foreign experience. My question is this internship will help to increase my EE points under FSW ?

Your help is really appreciated.

Did you have legal work status?

Yes, co-op work permit.

If the co-op or internship appears in your transcript as part of your academic program - then you are considered to be in full-time enrolment during the course of the co-op/internship, afaik.
