What exactly are you referring to?

Work experience for the purposes of skilled migration applications generally need to be:
1) skilled, which means an occupation on the SOL, and
2) paid, and
3) full-time (at least 20 hours per week)

Work limitations for full-time foreign students are a different matter.

Work limitations for working holiday makers are again not the same.

Work limitation for visitors on a tourist visa is absolute (i.e. no work allowed).

So there.

What if the employment was 20 hours per week but part-time? That is in addition to doing some other non-related job. Would that count as work experience?
