Will my work experience count towards Express Entry Application if I hold a study permit?

Hi,

I'm holding a 3-years PGWP and I'm going to school again this September 2023. I will apply for study permit.

(I know that I can hold both Open work permit and Study Permit.)

I will be working until my program starts at September 2023. Will those work experience (before my program starts) count towards Express Entry condition of work experience?

Since I am not a full-time student until the program starts, I guess it counts as work experience for Express Entry?

Summary

- I have both PGWP and study permit (program starts at Sep 2023)

- I will be working until program starts, legally with PGWP, but I also hold study permit

- Will that work experience (before my program starts) count when I apply for Express Entry?

- Or would my work experience count from when I ONLY have the PGWP?

Thank you very much
