You have a total of 3-4 years skilled work experience. The only way I would recommend not including some of your experience is if one role was NOC C, which they aren't so go with what you have which is 3+ years.
If you read the question, its says full time, continuous, paid and "in only one occupation". In my case there are breaks in between the two jobs, they are from different job codes, they do come under the same umbrella of psychology ... but one job code refers to Psychologists while the other one refers to Social and Community workers.

Thus I felt, I should go with 2-3 years of my first Job Code. Anyway its a tool to check eligibility.
points would be given when I add both the jobs with LORs in the EE Profile.

But any suggestions otherwise are welcome!

Ok gotcha! Carry on then, esp if the NOC A is the one the application will be based on.

Another one :
Pre ITA, completing ee profile
What to write in start month and end month of a course in education history?

Strait date : July in Delhi universities for bachelor's programs
End date : exams are held in May, result are out in June/july. Degrees are awarded much later.

This will also affect a later question in work history which asks :
When did you become qualified for the profession?
Month? Year?

Please respond...

I don’t think either response would be incorrect whether exam end date or date degree was awarded. For uniformity you could go with the award date printed on the degree to coincide with the work history section you mentioned. But it’s also perfectly acceptable to list the end date of your course as the month the school semester ends.

Hmm. I only got my degree for masters at the end of the year, that's in December. I don't think I should write that as the month I became eligible for profession.
It has a reason, because I started my first job right in June. My exams ended in May.
So you see the confusion?
I cannot be admitting that I started my profession even before being qualified for it.
So what should I put as end month/ month qualifying me for profession?

Any suggestions?

Do you need the masters to qualify for your job? I used my first degree as the date I became eligible for my job because I didn’t need my masters to be eligible for it. Is yours a requirement?

Masters made me eligible, not bachelor's.
In India, it's common for people to begin working before they get their degrees, sometimes even results are awaited.
So I began working pretty soon after my final exams got over. Last exam was in May and I got a job in June.

Any suggestions?

Are you sure your profession needs a masters to be eligible?
Check the description of your NOC. It'll say how you get qualified for a profession. Usually a degree is enough.

As for your previous question, this is what I did.

I added my official program start date and end date (study period) as the Start date and End Date of my Degree.
Used the "Date of Award" (this is the date on your transcript or degree certificate) as the date i got qualified for my profession.

My profile is still on verification, i'll let you know if this goes through.

this is what is written for my job code
Employment requirements
  • A doctoral degree in psychology is required in order to use the designation "Psychologist" in Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia.
  • A master's degree in psychology is required for the designation "Psychologist" in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
  • A master's degree in psychology is required in order to use the designation "Psychological Associate" in Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia.
  • A period of supervised practical experience is required in most jurisdictions.
  • Successful completion of the written Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) is required in most provinces.
Although these are employment requirements in Canada, not home country. But it gives me an understanding that i need Masters for my profession.

What do you say?

I usually come here to support you guys and wish you the best. I haven't been here since God knows when since I'm feeling a little bit depressed due to the slap I got when my IELTS writing band hasn't changed from 6.5 to 7.

But anyway, I wish you all the best in the upcoming draw and congrats to whoever got their ITA!

If your Masters is what made you qualified for profession, then you will have to put the month you got your degree as the month you got qualified for this profession. Writing exams does not qualify you but degree is what matters.

Though this seems correct. But beginning a job in June and writing that I got the qualification in December (degree date) will make me lose 6 months of job experience isn't it?
Will I be getting less points because of this overlap

Technically should mean YES...but maybe some other member here can confirm.
