Hello Everyone,

Can anyone help me please ?

I submitted my PhD in 2015 in India and got it awarded in 2017. However immediately after my submission in 2015, I became eligible and started working as a PostDoc in India and two years later was awarded my Ph.D degree.

Now when I am creating my express entry profile, it says “Date you first become qualified to practice in this profession”. Should it be 2015 or 2017. The day I started working or the day I was awarded my Ph.D degree.

If I mention 2015, the day I started working, will it be considered as misrepresentation by IRCC since I was awarded my PhD in 2017. I would really be grateful if anyone can help me out from this tricky situation.

Thanks
Archana

however people here on other threads have been saying that it should be 2015. Since as per them day i started working in itself is a qualification of eligibility as per them. Your comments

its really confusing
It should be 2017 not 2015 .

What happens to Work experience in that case? If you acquire work experience before the degree being awarded ? How does CIC treat that work ex ?
