My entire working experience of 3 years spans over the time when I was an enrolled full-time student at a Masters Program at an institution. The work continues even after I have completed my Masters.

Am I eligible to quote 3 years work experience and a Masters degree in the same years in my FSW Express Entry Profile. I am not sure whether I am able to quote work experience while a full time student. 

To the best of my knowledge, the Canadian Immigration Law doesn't say anything about NOT working while studying for foreign students and employees. It forbids such practice ONLY for ECE applicants with Canadian Experience.

Does anyone else seem to have received a PPR with the condition above?

You should indicate the work experience and education to reflect your situation accurately. Declaring anything that is not truthful or omitting information will be considered misrepresentation which can lead to your PR refusal and a ban from Canada for 5 years. If when you were studying full-time, you were also working, you must indicate this as well as the hours worked. For example if you only worked 15 hours/week while studying, this must be indicated.
