Assume you are on a paid co-op or internship (part of a college diploma or university degree), doing exactly what is described in the NOC list for a particular position. Will CIC see that as valid work experience?

I went thru the university co-op program for 16 months (4 terms of 4 months each) ...but when i applied for PR they did not give me points for it during the paper screening (info from CAIPS notes)

I dug deeper for more info ...and found some links according to which co-op experience must count towards points.

R75 and R80 were clear regarding work experience.

Please read thru and share your opinion.
