Regarding level of education selection in Express Entry

[ntwkengg]

Hello ,

One of my friend did pharmacy outside Canada. He got ECA report which shows that Canadian Equivalency to "Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy Degree."
Now there are two options in selecting level of education in express entry. 1) Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute 2) Masters, or Professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession.

According to this website for ECA report-how to read in second option 2) it shows different professional fields. in which in pharmacy shows "Bachelor of science in pharmacy degree". So from 1 and 2 option which option I should select ?? Bachelor's degree or Masters, or professional degree needed to practise in licensed profession. I have't appeared for pharmacy licensing exam.

According to my understanding, if education is "Master of Pharmacy", then 2nd option must be chosen.
In your case, it is "Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy". It comes under 1st option.

The MPharm is the only qualification in the UK which leads to professional registration as a pharmacist. (Courtesy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Pharmacy)

Canada also should be allowing master in pharmacy for professional registration as a pharmacist. Hope this helps.

Choose Option 2. It is an entry-to-practice profession.
