I'm ready to submit my profile for EE and had a few questions to clear up before I do. If anyone has had any experience with these types of scenarios it would be very appreciated if you could share them.

1. My WES evaluation for my master's studies says "Canadian Equivalency:: One and one - half years of graduate study, Remarks:: The credential is not comparable to a completed Canadian education credential.". Which option do I need to choose under the education section? I selected 'None' for now.

2. I went to Canada for about 3 weeks when I was 14 but AFAIK I didn't need to apply for a visa (and the passport is so old I don't remember where it is). Do I have to choose 'yes' for the question "Have you applied with IRCC before"?

3. Work experience - I had one job for 3 years but worked in two different locations (assigned to work overseas for about a year in the middle). I put in three entries for that job. Is that okay (e.g. employer A in location A from XX-YY, employer A in location B from YY-ZZ, employer A in location A from AA-BB) or am I supposed to put in a single entry for that job?

Thanks for your help!

1- just leave it out (add it later in personal history after you get ITA)
2- i think have you applied with IRCC is more related to immigration/student visa rather than tourism etc... but let's wait for someone to confirm.

For question 2: Applying for tourism (temporary resident (visitor's) visa) requires an application to IRCC. I answered 'Yes' to this question (because I applied for and have a visitor's visa) and provided my UCI number from that visa when they asked if I had a UCI - it was thereafter used, going forward, as my UCI for my PR Application so I can only assume I was correct in my assumptions...

1. I would leave it out. Did you evaluate your Bachelor's too?
2. I'm assuming you're from a country that doesn't require a visa to enter Canada. In that case, you choose No.
3. 3 entries should be fine. If you've got one experience letter that covers the entire 3 years, you can upload it 3 times in each field when the time comes to upload your documents.

I had my bachelors evaluated which came out to a 4-year degree equivalent in Canada. My country currently doesn't require a visa to visit Canada but this was 14 years ago, and I was a minor at the time, so I don't even remember.

As for the work experience letter, it covers the 3 years and details where I was placed (the original location and the overseas location).
