AINP Approved NOC 2171 (sys Anlysts & It consul) without Computer Related Degree

[Ell.Bee]

To the folks who already got the nomination from AINP, we those who are waiting want you to share this information with us.

There was a case rejected due to the following reason.

"Your file has been reviewed, and it has been determined that your education and professional experience are equivalent to a Business Methods Analyst (NOC 1122) which is not included in the Regional occupation Under pressure list.  As a result, you cannot be considered eligible for the AINP Strategic Recruitment Stream at this time.
Please note that decisions with respect to the selection of Candidates are at the sole discretion of the Provience of Alberta and are final; There is no appeal process."

As per HRSDC website 2171 (systems Analysts & It consultants) usually have degree in Computer, engineering or related field.

I have heard at least 3 rejections.
1. The person who is mentioned in the first message
2. An accountant, Michigan State accounting graduate and
3. I person who wrote Toronto for the city to live

Don't worry, as long as you have a good work experience and a good reference letter, you will get your nomination. They do not care about your degree/major and they should not.

I agree with you. Like our Big B, Mr Goveror said. As long as we dont change 7 address in 2 yrs and the company is now owned by uncle reddy, we should be good.

i think if you pattern it here after the US, it would help if you have more than 5 years experience on the field so as to put weight on your experience instead of your bachelor's degree.
