    This forum has always been such nice forum to vent your emotions by sharing the good and bad experiences. I applied under the PhD stream (NOC 4011) in 2012 while I was a PhD candidate.

    Re: Canadian Educational Credential Thanks all for your replies and the interesting debate on how PhDs can contribute to Canada's economy and society. As most of you have already pointed out, Canada is much better off in retaining the intellectual minds than letting them go :) Regards, Nadees

    Hi asbereth, I have glanced through the post you mentioned. Also, as you've indicated, it does appear that CIC wont accept the TA/RA as work experience for CEC as per new rule. So, the most secure option for me is to revisit the PhD stream. Let's see how it goes this time :)
