Hi, I completed a two-year Master's from a Canadian university. I'm applying for PR through Express Entry Federal Skilled Workers' Program. I have three years of foreign work experience as a university lecturer. However, the NOC job description shows Master's degree as an employment requirement for university lecturers. Though I had Master's degree obtained from a university of my home country when I joined as university lecturer, ECA evaluates that Master's as one-year postgraduate diploma. Does that mean that I was not qualified for the job according to the Canadian standard? Will I then be ineligible for the Federal Skilled Workers' Program? Since I already have my ECA report completed, based on that, I guess the immigration officer will consider that my job is not equivalent to the same Canadian NOC job, even though now I fulfill the education requirement for that job. Thanks for your thoughts.
