Express Entry Profile Work/Education History

Excuse me if this has been answered already, but I've done quite a bit of research, and haven't been able to determine the proper way to fill out the work and education sections of the Express Entry Profile.

A little bit about me: 28 year old US citizen with college degree and 3 years of NOC job experience. My previous employment is varied and does not meet any NOC requirements. I have ECAs for both an Associates degree and Bachelor's degree.

I know that I will need to list full employment and education histories (including high school?) in my application if I receive an ITA, but have read conflicting views on whether to include everything in my Express Entry Profile, or to only include what is relevant to the points I will receive.

Is there any official advice that can be pointed to, or anyone who has completed the process that can shed some light?

You only need to include the education and experience that gets you points in your EE profile. Once you get your ITA you input the rest of the details in your Personal History. You do not need to list highschool education anywhere.

Have you got your ECA yet for your college degree? without a bachelors degree you're unlikely to have a high score. What's your estimated score?

Hello, thank you for your reply. Yes, I have 2 degrees with ECAs completed (associates and bachelors), and have received my IELTS scores. My common law spouse has done the same and I have an estimated 476 points.

Did you get through with only your relevant work/Education history on your profile?

Thank you again for taking the time to respond.

But, would it be a problem if I mention my high school education in EE profile as I have not completed it in last ten years and I won't be able to mention it anywhere in personal history section while filling e APR, as I have heard that you are only able to put info for last ten years .

I am claiming points for my Ph.D.

Please help me

I don't think you need to mention your high school education at all, in any part of your EE profile or e APR, if you finished it more than 10 years ago... It won't affect your ability to claims points for your PhD - the two aren't linked, I presume.

Somewhere in ON
Education history: include all education you have ECAs for. No need for high school. Provide supporting documents.
Work history: include all work experience you're using to claim points and provide supporting documents.
Personal history: include all work and education in the last 10 years. No need for supporting documents.

Thanks. Thats a very concise answer. I was confused about the same. I have done ECA report for masters only and not for my bachelor's ( as WES asked only for masters documents in case of engineering).So i though of mentioning bachelor's education without ECA. But I guess thats not required
