You see there are few columns:
1. Since what year? (required) - dates to fill
2. To (required)- dates to fill (dates would show 2 as it is from July 2000 to July 2002)
3. Complete/full academic years (required) - I would fill 2
4. Level of education (Canadian equivalent) shown on Education Credential Assessment (ECA) report Your ECA report will tell you if your foreign education is equal to a completed Canadian degree, diploma or certificate. You must have the results of an ECA report to answer the question. If you are not sure what your result was, visit our website to understand what your ECA report results mean. - That would be Bachelor's degree or three years or more program

So there is the contradiction and the profile is forcing me to enter this paradoxical information.

Hi Javo
Proof of funds for 4 people should be $23181. See:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html

I am sure it should work. All the best.

1- No
2- Is your husband the dependent? if yes, you don't need to add his work history at all on the main application since you won't get points for it.
3- you mean have you applied to immigration?

For FSW category you need to get your foreign credentials evaluated by WES that is one of the criteria by CIC.https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers.html

Put the funds as 13000 CAD and check. Usually it is because of the minimum POF, an advice, carry a bit more than the minimum, you won't regret it. Takes a good 2-5 months to land into a good job. Good luck.
