I completed my masters education in India. However, WES has only recognised it as a dual degree.
Now I have a couple of questions:
1. Does ones ECA matter or actual educational credentials matter. Should we meet the employment requirements or just the main duties once we have identified our NOC?
2. Now I have 28 months of full time experience and 12 months of experience in part time as a consultant. Would this count as 2 or 3 years of work experience?
• Job 1 (Full time): 6 months (45 hours/week) (Different NOC- haven’t been able to figure which one yet)
• Job 2 (Full time): 6 months (45 hours/week) (Skill level A; NOC:4151)
• Job 3 (Full time): 16 months (49 hours/week) (Skill level A; NOC:4151)
• Continued in Job 3 but became a part time employee: 12 months (20 hours/week) (Skill level A; NOC:4151)
3. Does my first job with a different NOC for just 6 months even count?

1. Don’t know what you mean. For EE, you must submit ECA. For NOC, your education doesn’t need to match.
2. You can count your first job.

Thank you so much for your response :)
Would my part time hours count for a full year or do you reckon I’ll have to put in 2 years of work experience?
