6) Work Experience

i. In the last ten years, how many years of skilled work experience in Canada do you have?
It must have been paid and full-time (or an equal amount in part-time).

Note: In Canada, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the official list of all the jobs in the Canadian labour market. It describes each job according to skill type, group and level.

"Skilled work" in the NOC is:

any suggestion for me?
By the recent trend, the cut-off line is hoovering around 470 if not slightly higher. You are roughly 90 points off.

Unless you could pull very hard "tricks" or you are extremely valuable, we are talking about impossibility in practice.[ I assume you were not talking about trade program under EE.]

Some "tricks" I can think of:
  1. very strong french language skills
    • 30 points
  2. valid job offers
    • max 200 points
  3. a nomination from a province or territory
    • max 600 points
  4. a brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident
    • 15 points
You may think 2 and/or 3 would solve your issue. Well, look into them, and you will understand why I say they are hard.

For instance, unless the occupation is NOC 00[Senior Management Occupations], you can only get 50 for a valid job offer, not to mention the difficulty of a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).


I am so so sorry.

Your best bet is to look for a PNP. I'm aged 31 with a CRS lower than yours at 375 but I was lucky enough to get nominated.
