Education and Job

[enigmatic99]

Hey guys,

I was wondering how important it is to have education and work experience in the same field? I worked as a laboratory technician while my field of education was different (but related to health science).

I am in dilemma as per IRCC website's:
Employment requirements for Laboratory technician is :

• Medical laboratory technicians/assistants require completion of a college certificate program in medical laboratory science.

Any thoughts from seniors/experts will be appreciated.

Not necessary, unless profession demands it. You can be a software developer with an Arts degree but can't say you were a doctor with a commerce degree.

My field of study was public health, I did a couple of courses during my undergrad those were related to microbiology, immunology, and pathology. I did exceptionally well in the lab and theory associated with those courses so my instructor asked me if I can join his private laboratory to work as a Lab Technician, and I happily agreed to join.

Although I did some of the courses (subjects) but my academic degree is not exactly a Medical laboratory.

For EE, everything on the NOC page except lead statement & main duties are to be ignored.

Note: The applicant does not need to demonstrate that they meet the “employment requirements” listed in the NOC occupational description.
