I have completed my graduation in business administration and an MBA in finance. I work in an IT company as a Programmer/web developer for several years now.
I want to apply for express entry. Now my question is after getting the ITA will there be an issue since my profession is in IT and my educational background in business administration?

Anyone here who immigrated to Canada with the same background and professional experience?

I haven't seen it mentioned so far that one's degree and profession should be related. Should be fine!

Dear Members,

I need your help with my work experience.

I have been working at Central Bank of Pakistan since June 2013.

My work history is as follows:

June 2013 to July 2015 - Central Bank of Pakistan

Aug 2015 to May 2017 - Unpaid Study leave Masters from University of Oklahoma

June 2017 to PRESENT - Central Bank of Pakistan - Same Position

Now how should i write my experience in ITA application work history section.

Should i write in continuation i.e., June 2013 to PRESENT ?

OR

Should i break it into two separate rows as follows:

June 2013 to July 2015 - Central Bank of Pakistan
June 2017 to PRESENT - Central Bank of Pakistan - Same Position

The experience letter that i have clearly states that i was on study leave during the period July 2015 to June 2017. I also have the initial job offer letter from my employer.

Looking forward to your responses.

Regards,
