Hello,

I hope you guys will be able to clarify one question for me.

My current job falls under a NOC, and I've been working on this job for 5 years now.

According to the NOC description, a person is eligible to be employed on this job only after a higher education is completed.

I've started to work when I had a bachelor's degree and was doing my master's degree at that time. But the problem is that I'm claiming my eligibility based on my Master's degree (which is successfully evaluated by WES) and not on my bachelor's degree (which is not evaluated by WES).

Do you think I need to evaluate my bachelor's degree as well to claim that I was eligible to start working on the position at the given time?

Thanks in advance.

No. You do not need to evaluate it.
thanks for the answer!

I was counting my years and I stumbled upon another issue. NOC description says, that I need a university degree and several years of job experience to be eligible for that position

How much is exactly several years? I had a bit more than a year of experience before occupying my current main position. Do you think it will suffice?

Thanks for you kind assistance.
