Express Entry - Work Qualification Details

[psuryawanshi]

Hello and Greetings!

I started working from October 2016 in a field which comes under the NOC code 2173. In continuation with NOC code 2173, from April 2017, I simultaneously started gaining training and work experience for NOC code 1111. Although I have 4+ years of experience for NOC code 1111, I did an ISO (qualified) certification in July 2021 for NOC code 1111.

I would want to know what date should I mention in the "Date when first became qualified to practice this occupation" for applying for NOC code 1111 ? Will it be April 2017 or July 2021 ?
Appreciate your time and response. Thank you.

Let's say you fill Jul 2021, then how do you plan to tell IRCC how were you doing a job 4 years before you became eligible for it? If someone did give you that job in Apr 2017 did they give you because they were nice? or did you bribe them? did you fake your credentials? or because you were actually eligible for that job?

Also you may really want to think if you want to use NOC 1111. It is generally for people with CPA / CA degree. Your duties may match with some other finance related NOC more. Or did you mean a CPA /CA kind of thing when you said ISO certification? Didn't know ISO issued accounting credentials.
