Good day all. Please, I have a question to ask and I hope I'd get the right answer.

I am a medical doctor, with over five years post graduation experience (including Internship and working as a medical officer while doing the compulsory National Youth Service in my country Nigeria). Ever since then, I have been working in private hospitals as a Medical Officer with job roles including outpatient, inpatient and emergency care.

I also decided to make a gradual career switch to Epidemiology, so I commenced my Masters in Epidemiology and Medical Statistics last year and will do my research dissertation defence in a few months as the final phase before I get my Masters degree.

Additionally, I have passed my IELTS examination but currently waiting for the source verification of my medical degree with the ECFMG before I can proceed with the ECA.

Please, I would like to ask the following questions:

1) What will be the ideal NOC to choose as a Medical Doctor with a general practitioner experience, bearing in mind that my employment letters bear the role of Medical Officer or Medical Doctor?

2) Can post-college Internship/Housemanship be included as part of professional experience while applying for the Express Entry?

3) Can I get a job as an epidemiologist if I successfully get into Canada, bearing in mind that I will soon be done with my Masters and that I have about a year's experience volunteering with NGOs in that regard?

Thanks a lot. I will really be grateful if I could get an elaborate answer to these questions.

Hi friends
I was wondering if in forms the "nomination and selection" part is related to provincial nomination programs (in my case BC PNP)?

Hi all...
I have added my primary NOC in Express entry profile in which I am no longer working. I have a query regarding work experience I am doing at present from last 5 years. I have shown my work duties in layman language not in technical language what NOC required. Now, in this year's annual appraisal report, I modified my duties according to NOC and forwarded to my senior for approval which I will get back in the month of August or September.

My question is..Should I show my present work experience in my EE profile with my work duties matching with corresponding NOC. Or should I leave the same now and submit my profile and would edit as and when I will receive my appraisal report?

P.S. I have scanned the pages in which I have mentioned my work duties in my latest appraisal report. But the approval pages where senior sign will get in August or September.

Thanks and regards in advance.

Hello...
My ITA expired yesterday.. Lost 5 points already as I turned one year older during those 90 days. All my documents were ready but I got a bit over cautious about my bank statements. Actually I let my sister use my salary account in order to remit her income from abroad to our home country. It was her money, but she mentioned that she was returning loan to me in the transaction explanation column. They were big amounts. I think all I needed was to request her to write an affidavit to confirm her claim, but I couldn't do that. I had more than enough bank balance excluding her remittances, but I just couldn't submit my application out of fear of being rejected. Now I am blaming myself for not taking the risk. No risk, no return. My points fell from 444 to 439. Need some consolation.

Trying to figure out a way to increase my points. I am an ACCA member. Can I claim 50 points for Canadian qualification if I get CGA membership by capitalizing on MARA between CPA Canada and ACCA UK? I dont have Oxford Brook Degree. I only have a 2-year bachelor and soon will receive MSc degree from University of London (ACCA members are eligible to earn MSc from UOL by completing 2 modules). I might earn some more points for that MSc I guess. But Not sure if CPA will allow me to be a member with ACCA membership and Msc from UOL.

Hi! I'm from Honduras and recevied my ITA on February 17th. For my documents not issued in English I already have certified translations and affidavits for all of them done by the Honduran Ministry of Foreign affairs but they didnt provide any certified copies of the original spanish documents. My question is, do I need to get a certified copies of the original Spanish documents or can I just scan and upload the originals?
Hello Cesar,
Any update on this? I am also from Honduras and got my ITA this week.
Are translations/certifications from Honduran Ministry of Foreign affairs enough?
Buena suerte!

Hello everyone!
For the police records I have a question, I have been living in a country other than my citizenship country for 6 years. For the first 4 months I didn't have a local ID, so if they use my residence ID to scan that 4 months wont be reflected.
At the time I had a passport # different from the one I have now
Do I have to get two different police records with both IDs?

Nope, it got locked when you got ITA. And you have even submitted too. don't worry it has no bearing.

You will have to start a process separately for her and it can take an year before she can join you in canada as it is known to have longer processing times. Preferable to get it done along with you unless your circumstances don't allow.
