Express entry profile ques Date you became eligible to practise this profession

[prseeker]

I am completing my express entry profile and came across the following question, Date you became eligible to practice this profession.
Can I mention the date I received my CPA license. Although, I have been working in accounting for many years before that so I am confused with what I should answer?

Any thoughts on this?

I thought that was a weird question, too, but if you are in a licensed profession I would give the date I qualified for the license, and if it required a degree, I would put the date I got the degree. Otherwise, I would put the first time I worked in that profession - and that is what I did.

If you are using an NOC for a CPA, then put the date you got the license.
