I am a Physiotherapist with a bachelors degree and have 5 years working experience in sri lanka. As per the new NOC they are asking for masters for Physiotherapist in Canada.

When I create a express entry profile, what should I put as my primary occupation?

Since I have no masters should I put "Physiotherapist assistant"?
Or since I have experience as a Physiotherapist in Sri Lanka, should I put it as "Physiotherapist"?

You match your job responsibilities to the NOC so use Physiotherapist. You cannot work as a physiotherapist in Canada without a Masters and be licensed by the provincial association.

Are you eligible for EE with 67 points based on ECA and IELTS?

As suggested use the NOC as Physiotherapist. But you need to understand that after you are accepted as a PR and enter into Canada, you cannot practice as a Physio. You will need to further your studies or take examinations to be licensed and practice again. (that means not able to work as physio after at least for a while)

Yes, I'm eligible for the express entry. ECA and IELTS are all good. I was only concerned about the issue I mentioned earlier. In EE profile, under the occupation section, they ask for the primary occupation and tdate he year that I was qualified to practice in that occupation . In there they also have mentioned that "This is the date minimal education qualification

Thank you so much for your kind reply in this matter.
Yes, I'm eligible as per my ECA and IELTS. My only concern about the occupation.

In EE profile, under the occupation they are asking for the primary occupation and the date I first became qualified to practice in this occupation. They also have mentioned "this is the date they first obtained the minimum education or training stated in the NOC description. (Note: if the NOC only states high school, this is the date they graduated.)" this. Will it be ok to put my occupation as a Physiotherapist?

So you started working as a physiotherapist after high school? Start with the date of your graduation, if you want. What is your CRS score? You want a CRS score around 480 to be invited.

I completed my BSc in Physiotherapy degree on October 2017. I started working as a Physiotherapist on March, 2018.
My CRS score is 480. Hope the cut off would go down to that level soon.

So you have a profile of 480? How with a bachelors? Do you have family in Canada? Know French?

Ah. You never said you had an ECA for MBA.
Sorry about that. Since it doesn't have any connection to my occupation and working experience, I didn't mention it.
So shall I change my occupation as Physiotherapist then? I changed it as Physiotherapist assistant as I didn't have Masters in Physiotherapy.
