applying as a skilled worker

[newer]

hello guys,

i had a question didnt know where to post it that i could see the reply for it.
i wanted to know if you want to apply as a skilled worker, do you have to have the education related to that or only work experience would be enough.
for example if you are an engineer and have worked 2 years in the past 10 years as a welder, can you apply for as a welder?????

 

[rupeshhari]

yes you can, that is if they hire you for such jobs without the welding education. But this is not true for all jobs. For example, one cannot claim to have practiced medicine without having a medical degree.

 

[newer]

So does this mean that with one welding degree and 1 year experience as a welder we can apply?
cause then that would be great

 

[rupeshhari]

yes, if welder is in the list of 29 occupation list for FSW1.
