Arranged employment related query for getting PR

[dream2014]

Dear Folks,

I have 3 years experience in IT industry and am planning to pursue certificate courses in Canada. I just hope that I would get a job in my industry but the worst case scenario might land me in any other industry or job profile. Will it affect getting my PR if I get an arranged employment, but in different sector/industry? Kindly highlight the possibilities and risk factors involved.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi

There is no risk associated with changing industries per se, however if you need a job to apply for PR, then a change of industry will affect the NOC classification noted on your application. This means you should check if your new industry still meets the requirements for the intended PR application by falling in the range of NOC classifications needed.

In addition it may also affect the experience you can count. The experience points you earn have to be earned in the NOC category that you get your job, so if your job is IT, your experience need to be IT as well to count.


If you have your PR status already, of course this will not matter either way.

Good luck

Thank you NetMecca!!!!

I think it would all depend upon my luck and talent to fetch a job in my industry. I just hope that my Project Management course would fetch me a relevant job. Hoping for the best.
Thanks again!
