Hi everyone,
I am creating my Express Entry profile under NOC 31110 (Dentist) foreign work experience. I have a question about the field: “Date first became qualified to practice in this occupation.”
My Timeline (India):
* Aug 2022: Passed Final BDS Exams (As per my Internship Completion Certificate).
* Oct 2022 - Oct 2023: Completed Compulsory Rotatory Internship (Paid/Stipend).
* Nov 2023: Received Permanent Dental Council Registration (License).
My Confusion:
My Internship itself is considered 'Work Experience' (if paid), I searched forums on this website and may mention of this being true.
But my degree came after my internship, so what date should I enter??
