Work while you are a full time student

[Monireh.rad]

Hi, I have submitted my Express Entry Profile. It has been preapproved and states I met the criteria for skilled worker. I have 5 years of job experience as a teaching and research assistant in Canada from Sep 2009 to Aug 2016 while I was a PhD student at the University of Calgary. My result shows that the Canadian job experience is not considered and the point is zero. Do you have any idea why? Isn't the works done during study considered for skilled worker category?

No, work experience while you are on full-time study in canada does not count. This thing is clearly mentioned in CIC website.
