Hello sir, I am an md in Forensic with similar doubts... can you contact me on what's app or email . 7012520838
According to my limited knowledge, I think we can show MD as work experience, if you have the stipend details and letter from Hod.

Hi Melz,
Thanks for your reply. Are you a doctor immigrating to canada or do you know any doctor who did so. Do you have a format of the experience certificate that we should get from the HOD or concerned authorities? My whats app no. is 7012520838. email-gnivin@gmail.com
Guys one thing is very clearly mentioned that IRCC doesn’t consider residency or stipend based work of ours as work experience.
Please note that while adding this in the EE and PR applications they clearly mention to add work experience after date of last degree in relevant field.
Please note that ECA is just the first step and IRCC holds the final say in the education credentialing so they can even increase your marks if need be...
My advise is to keep this work experience as buffer or over and above the minimum one year experience that is mandatory for your NOC. And if you have 3 years in your NOC after degree then nothing to worry about as after that any more years of experience don’t give us any extra points!
All the best!

Thanks for your reply.. so is it that residency can't be counted as work experience.
MBBS alone is a first professional degree which has the same score of that of masters degree so will a MD degree fetch you any more score if we show it as an educational qualification.. is doctor of medicine (MD) degree considered equivalent to phd...
I am confused were to add my 3 year residency period during my MD so that it can fetch me some score in the CRS.
Hi.
I have a MD in anesthesia from.india. Does the three years of residency count as work experience though we were paid a stipend and not a salary?
I have reference letters in the format required but no pay stubs or itr for that year as it was a stipend. What should I do? Is the reference letter with the work and pay details sufficient?

Unfortunately, IRCC clearly mentions the work-experience is counted after the award of the concerned degree.
MD doesn't give any more marks as it is irrelevant in Canada unless you finish your residency training in Canada. Also, MBBS awards you the maximum marks possible!
I think 'resident doctors in training to become specialist physicians' can be included under work experience.... it is mentioned in the lead statement of NOC specialist physician
Yes any degree you claim, the work-ex has to be appropriate for that NOC.
You may use the residency from MD/MS/DNB for MBBS work exp but it needs to conform to the relevant NoC, unfortunately, that will be difficult as even GP requires a family medicine residency in Canada.
Would love to get any further reference and information in this regard.

Please note the following are my personal comments:
Immigration is a once-in-a-lifetime watershed moment which would change the course of your and your family's destiny for the better.
Why would you want to risk the same in terms of time, money and resources as well as legal entanglements (PR Rejected status etc.) when there are grey zones.
My two cents - if the residency(to have been started after the concerned degree has been awarded) mirrors a substantial number of roles and responsibilities to your chosen NOC then all should be well. Otherwise, all else will be a waste.
Thank you.
What you say does make sense.

According to NOC 3111 - It states that even residents in training for that speciality are included in that NOC. That's why I was wondering if residency counts. Very clearly stated in the job description.
