You need to have any of above mentioned certificates with education credential equivalency for Canada while applying EE. Later at PR stage you should have work reference letter in standard format supporting your experience and nature of duties. Best wishes.

Thanks for your reply.

What if I have done Masters in public administration that means no educational related degree. But I have been teaching science subjects to middle class in a very well reputed private school for the last five years?

You can apply and claim points for your work experience based on the reference letter and get your PR if everything checks out. But you cannot work in Canada as a teacher without meeting those educational requirements.

Thank you Asivad Anac for the great advice.

Would you recommend me to go head and apply for EE in this category with my current academic credentials? Is there any course/certification i should do before applying to make my case strong?

Thanks again in advance.

There is no problem in applying under this NOC provided you can get a valid work reference letter. You don't need any course/certification to increase chances of success.

Hello , I am glad to find someone in my same exact shoes . The Academic year counts as one year . You calculate working hours per week which should be 40 , but I read somewhere 30 .
I need to ask you about your assessment for education , did you use WES or PEBEC and are you claiming points for ( Masters or entry to practice a licensed profession ) or only a ( Bachelor )
