Hi
@dhari143. I don't understand the question; could you clarify? It looks like you are already 2173. I had to choose between 2173 and 2174 and I decided my ability to substantiate my technical achievements lined up better with 2174 (which seems to have worked).
Just FYI: I'm not in Canada. I work as a 2173/2174 in the US remotely for a company in another state. My boss wants to keep me on after I move to Canada, but we're not sure if that will be possible due to contractual obligations with data not leaving the US. We will cross that bridge when we come to me actually moving.
