Does my experience under a working holiday program count toward the work experience requirement?

Yes, it does, if you worked in one or more of these National Occupational Classification (NOC) categories:

• Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations),
• Skill Level A (professional occupations) or
• Skill Level B (technical occupations and skilled trades).

For more information, please consult the Canadian Experience Class application instruction guide.
