International Dentist from Pakistan

[dentistgoingcanada]

Hi I am international dentist from Pakistan. I am applying for the express entry.
I wanted to know if the one year house job we do after our 4 years education, considered as a full time experience or not? It accounted for 35 hours/week, and it was a paid job.
Should I count it as my experience?

Yes, it will count.

Alright thanks.
Also, I have worked at a private clinic, since the start of my house job. I worked there for 2 years, working 24 hours/week.
Should I include that in the list of my work history?

You can if you like, but if you were working in two places at the same time, you should know that IRCC will only count 30 hours a week. Your house job covers that, so you won't get any points for it. And if there was a one year period where you only worked at the clinic, you don't have enough hours to get one year of experience, you'll only get ~9 months or so. So it doesn't really help you in any way.

You can put it in personal history and then you don't have to submit any documentation/proof for this job.

BTW, I hope you have read up on how difficult it is for medical professionals to continue in their careers in Canada. If you wish to work as a dentist, it will be very very difficult. If you are planning to change careers then of course this doesn't apply.

Hey thanks for all the information.
I know it is really hard to work as a dentist in canada, but nothing worth ever comes easier. And you always have to try, whatever the consequences. If it doesn't work, I will always have the option to opt for something else. But I gotta try my odds!!

Sure, I'm all for giving it a good solid try.

Just wanted to make sure you knew that medicine is a field that's very difficult to get into with foreign qualifications. As long as you are aware, it's all good.

Good luck.
