I will be applying for the Express Entry program in Canada. I have a problem with my work experience information that I am afraid could be considered as misrepresentation.
I am holding a PhD in Computer Science. My work experience consists of a software development work experience for an accounting company for three years in a foreign country, and seven months of research and development work experience in the same country, both before the beginning of my PhD. The latter is the most related to my research field in PhD.
As part of my PhD, I moved to Canada with a work permit for three months in 2019 as an invited researcher (invited by a public University in Canada). For that work permit application, I entered the seven months part of my work experience record that was mostly related to the research work I was going to perform in Canada. Unfortunately, I did not mention the three-years routine work experience, simply because it was not a research and development job and was not relevant to the research duties mentioned in the invitation letter.
Now, I want to make sure whether this negligence to put that relevant information in my work permit application can be considered as misrepresentation by the Canadian government in my Express Entry application where I will list my whole work experience. Do you think if I can resolve this problem by describing the situation in the cover letter of EE?
