Hi All,

I am working as software developer over a 4 years.
While checking NOC list I found that there is only IT Managers needed.
Does that mean that I can't apply as Skilled Worker?
And if not, so what requirements do I have to meet in order to be accepted.

With regards,
Inco

AFAIK, you can still apply under FSW but your application would not be processed under fast-track since your job profile does not fall under the list of 38 NOCs.

Unfortunately NO, AFAIK!!!
You NOC must be on the Ministerial List.

So these all means that I can't apply for FSW program now.
And even if in these coming months I will become team lead I need to wait at least one year.
And if I will ask my manager to give me a reference letter mentioning that I am handling the team lead responsibilities, does that will be enough to apply for FSW.
What else I can do to be allowed to apply for FSW now ?

I think team leader is different with IT Manager.

Incognito...

my views only:

1) firstly, team lead looks like a better designation than s/w developer in comparison to NOC 0213.
2) secondly, time and again, members have mentioned that CIC looks at the job duties and not designation.
3) thirdly, I think, though the books say that job duties are looked at primarily, I feel IO would use some of his common sense on top of whatz written.  Can some one in IT industry with s/w developer designation have the management duties at entry level?  might not be possible. can some one with 4 or 5 years of experience with team lead designation be performing the manager duties in last 1 year - probably possible!

cheers boltz.

Dear boltz,

Thanks for your comments.
I have 4 years experience in software development.
And now I am handling the responsibilities of team lead and project manager.
But the only evidence of that can be reference letter from my direct manager.
I am concerned will that be enough to apply or not.
And once I have applied how much time it will take to know does my application processed or it was rejected.

With regards,
Inco
