Dear Members,
I have a question which I couldn't clear my doubts due to mixed responses in various facebook groups. Actually it is related to Employment requirement section mentioned in NOC description.
A little bit of background, I have done CA Intermediate from Nepal and currently doing articleship which is 2.5 year now. I also have experience as audit assistant in same commpany for 8 months I am doing articleship now. Both the job and articleship are paid and I am in dilemma whether I could claim articleship along with 8 months job which will get me 3+ years of experience.
Also as per the employment requirement for NOC 1111 which states"
Employment requirements
  • Chartered professional accountants, chartered accountants (CPA, CA) require a university degree and Completion of a professional training program approved by a provincial Institute of Chartered Accountants
  • Auditors require education, training and recognition as indicated for chartered professional accountants, chartered accountants (CPA, CA), chartered professional accountants, certified general accountants (CPA, CGA) or chartered professional accountants, certified management accountants (CPA, CMA) and Some experience as an accountant.
In my case I neither am a qualified Chartered professional accounts, nor I do have a university degree( which I do have now, but not at the time when I was employed.

So my question is,
1. Do I need to qualify for employment requirement to claim the work experience??
2. However, I am a CA student doing articleship which is covered under NOC 1111, which states" Articling students falls under this unit group". so I could claim my 2.5 yrs of experience, right?? or I need to complete full 3 years of articleship to claim??
3. Can I claim 8 months of job experience prior to articleship??
4. Am I good to go??
