Hello folks,

I have a question, I had completed Bachelors in Microbiology and then taken over a job in Information technology.

So while applying for express entry do you guys know if it will be an issue if your Bachelors degree is different to the work experience area.

Thanks!

I dont think its consider, specially experience here is of not much importance as they are considering only 3 years at the most. I think you are good to go.

If you are applying under PNP, then the education should match with your JOB.
If you get an Invitation under FSWP Express Entry, then this does not matter.

Hi Preet,

Thanks for your response, can you please point me to documentation for PNP where it says that education should match your job skill set.
