Guys, I have few doubts.
1. CIC website has nowhere mentioned any particular qualification is mandatory for a particular field else the application will be rejected. So why should they reject any application on the basis of qualification mis-match with NOC.
2. Work experience is big thing. People who have proved their experience of 1 year in the particular NOC have migrated to Canada even though they were not working presently under that NOC. So I think work experience in that particular field for 1 year matters most provided you have the JOB duties as described by CIC.
I am much concerned now since I do not have a Engineering Degree/Diploma. I am a simple Graduate with Certifications from Cisco but I have strong total working expeience of 15 + years & relative NOC working experience of above 5 years as a Data Center Manager in a reputed company.
My Consultant Company says that when a person is having huge work experience in the particular NOC, Education in that particular field hardly matters. Although I doubt their statement especially after Mr. Rajababu popped up into this forum.
Please clarify.
