Hi,
I am interested in applying for Canadian immigration and I just saw the list of fields in which they are accepting this . Based on my past professional experience my field should match "2147 Computer engineers (except software engineers and designers)" however I don't see this listed there . They might not be accepting these kinds of candidates however there are 2 more categories where I match i.e. "2281 Computer network technicians" and "2171 Information Systems analysts and consultants" .
My past work has been related to Network Security Engineer where I used to deploy network security products in organizations because of which I feel that I can match these 2 categories , I feel that a lot of people would apply on 2281 as it is a bit generic and while there will be less candidates for 2171 as it related to security side . Considering all this I feel that I should apply for 2171 , please guide and correct me if I am wrong .
Also what importance does these categories have when it comes to moving to Canada , does this mean that if i apply for a computer network technician category and somehow gets selected I would only be offered a technician job ? My past designations were Network Engineer , Network Security Engineer , Security Consultant and Network Security Contractor I am not sure if anyone out there would know exact so just a brief about me would be that i am a CCIE in security and a brief about that could be found from a wikipedia link which says
"The CCIE Security track focuses specifically on network security, and certifies individuals with expert level knowledge of specific security protocols and components such as VPN solutions, ASA, IPS and IOS security features. Individuals certified as CCIE Security are certified in configuring complex, end-to-end secure networks, troubleshooting integrated environments, and understanding common attacks and mitigation techniques."
