Meaning of "a professional degree needed to practice a licensed profession" -

[manojwilson]

Hi everyone,

One of my friends have a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from GNDU Amritsar (5 years) and she has a license to work as an architect.
Although her NOC skill type is also "A" and listed as a work for which a license is required, her degree has only been considered as a "Bachelors (4 years)" by WES.
What should she choose as her highest degree of qualification? :

1. Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute


2. Professional degrees for licensed professions

Are you a physicia? Depends on your NOC. For EE, most likely no.

It is NOC 3211

 

[Naturgrl]

It is NOC 3211

It is not a licensed degree because in Canada it is a college level program. Have you completed the ECA for your degree? So for EE, there is no issue with being in a licensed profession.
