EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR (ECA) (NOC 42202) FOR EXPRESS ENTRY

Hi,
I have a question about the new express entry stream for education occupations released on February 26, 2025.

I am an ECA (early childhood assistant - NOC 42202) in Canada, and I have exactly 6 months of work experience as an early childhood assistant in the country. I hold a valid IELTS certificate. My overall score is 7.

Can you please answer the questions that I raised when I wanted to complete my EE profile?


1) They asked for 6 months of work experience in Canada.
However, I have 5 years of work experience in a field unrelated to education occupations in my home country.
Is this irrelevant work experience considered for my EE application?


2) I worked for a Canadian company 2 years ago when I lived in my home country.
Will it be considered Canadian work experience or foreign work experience?
This job was in an unrelated field to the education occupation.

3) I have an open work permit and I have no National Occupation Classification (NOC) code on my work permit. How can I fill this section in my EE application (This part is in the work history section).

Thank you!
