No, you have to be a fully qualified HD mechanic.

PMM:
What do you mean by fully qualified HD mechanic? As per my understanding of the cic online document at http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/resources/manuals/op/op06-eng.pdf you should have at least one year of experience in one of the 38 job categories which includes HD mechanic (NOC 7312). You can add up to the points for experience from any other jobs that you performed in last 10 years which are in NOC classification, even if they are not in 38 job categories.

For example, consider the worst case scenario:
If you have 1 year experience as Heavy-Duty Equipment Mechanics (NOC 7312) and 5 year experience as a Mechanical Engineering Technician (NOC 2232) in last 10 years. Your application is eligible for processing because of the fact you have at least one year experience in NOC 7312 which is in 38 job categories approved by minister. Now to calculate the points for experience you can claim 21 points for 4 year of experience (1 year 7312 and 3 years 2232).

You can't go from calling yourself an "autoservice technician" and the next day calling yourself a heavy duty mechanic.  It requires a 3-5 year apprenticeship in repairing bulldozers cranes and other heavy duty machinery.

I agree with your statement, but my reply to the post was from immigration regulation perspective not from practical perspective. As per the document I pointed, it allows you to claim yourself as "Heavy-Duty Mechanic" with one year of experience and apply for immigration, no matter how terrible mechanic are you.

Regarding apprenticeship, once you have done 3-5 year Mechanical Engineering apprenticeship. It allows you to select from a bunch of professions related to mechanical engineering depending on the courses you have taken. For example, if you have done Computer Science degree it allows to work as a System Administrator, Database Administrator, Software Developer, Web Developer, System Analyst etc.

Immigration has the same perspective, you are going to claim to be HD Mechanic, CIO NS will approve, you send your reference letters which show you haven't apprenticed as an HD Mechanic, then processing office refuses.   CIC/CHC is not that stupid.

Hi

 Gacajias, As per my knowledge, this FSW immigration sytem is profession/ work based and not degree or course work base unless ur profession does not work under  some 'registration body' ( like the cases for nursees , doctors).

 For 67 marks qualification criteria u must be having a degree/diploma, no matter wat it is( graduation or PG level) etc  . CIC give a dam to some one's degree, they just need it for calculating eligibility passing marks.

And 1  thing more CIC will only calculate experience from either or your 'heavy duty work'(7312) or 'mech. eng.'(2232) works, they will not calculate both for one immigration. It will be either from  3 yr experience or  1 yr experience, cuz they also have to justify that under which FSW category they classify applications!!!!!!!

Hope it will help

Sharma77:
I understand that one can combine the years of experience for two or more NOCs as before. Where does it say that you can't combine the years of experience from two or more NOCs? The only thing that has changed after Feb 27, 2008 is that you must have at least one year of experience in 38 ministerial NOCs. In other words, in order for your application to be eligible for processing you must have at least one year of experience in 38 ministerial NOCs. Once you are eligible, CIC will count all the years from all your NOCs. Can you please specify the source of below information from your post?

What do you thing PMM?
