My wife holds a WES-recognized PhD from India and works as a Research Associate with equivalent roles and responsibilities in healthcare. Is she eligible for the STEM draw?

Which of the STEM NOCs does she plan to apply under?
 
This NOC 32120,, NOCs ? can we show multiple NOCs ?

You need to show one primary NOC. You cannot show multiple primary NOCs.

I didn't think this NOC was on the STEM list.

Maybe the healthcare stream?
 
As of now 6 months. I am planning to apply after 6 months. Yes it matches.

"College education is the requirement." I didn't understand this part. she completed PhD. what education you mean ?

Because the job only requires college education, not even a degree. So it may cause issues at IRCC about why a person with a PhD all of sudden got a job for 6 months as a lab technician to qualify for the healthcare draw. Just like you said in another post that you are a software engineer and food supervisor but not a cook.
 
There is no way that a PhD grad is doing things like processing slides, running the blood sample machine, entering the data from test results, etc. A research assistant actively participates in research while a lab tech essentially helps prepare and process samples for MDs and PhDs.
