CIC takes your work experience AFTER or even during your degree (i.e. TA, RA - half time). Rational is the academic knowledge you gain is necessary for your skills you count towards your independent class application.
Work experience before that may be questioned. It may be different if you have work experience "in-between" two level of degrees. E.g. Work experience between Bachelors and Masters. That is counted full-time and can be applied towards your work experience. However, it may be difficult to count if these are in two different fields. For e.g. if you got Bachelor in Business studies and were say working as an Investment Analyst and later did your MS in Computer Science and are applying with NOC of skills as a Computer Engineer etc. then to include your work experience as an Investment Analyst may be difficult.

Since the new rules kicked in from Sept 18, 2003 you no longer need to have the work experience in your realated field.
As long as the work experience is listed in the Category A, B or 0 (zero) of the NOC code listings you are all fine.
I have been working as a Library circulation assistant while I was doing my degrees in Computer Science and Information Technology (2 degrees) and guess what my application has gone thru... I am in the PP waiting stage right now.
So yeah there is no problem about job...
Coming to the original poster´s question...
If you have sufficient proofs about your work in IT and that you had required credentials then you should defienlty put that in the application...
Its odd that the still CIC is living in stone age. They want to see the paper degrees and credentials compared to some hands-on knowledge...
What about a successful business person who never went to school but owns business worth a few hundred thousand Dollars... There are tonns of them.. and I am sure it is still a big thing for an average canadian to own such a thing... They still prefer to be a corporate slave and work.
Anyways... the main thing is that get your work experience to the best you can... find the NOC listing matching to it and work along it... and if you get good supporting documents then you should be all good to go...
Good Luck,
