Hi everyone,
At the last years of my university studies, I was working for a company and my job title was Mechanical engineer but my duties were similar to a technician because I was studying at that moment. I want to know that is it a good idea to ask my employee to put technician as my job title? is it considered as misrepresentation?
The reason I want to do this is that it might be confusing for the officer that how I was an engineer while studying in university!

Hi, i tried to find the Job category in NOC LIST for night Audit Manager but i didnot find it. Can you please advice something.
Hi,

If you can find a specific management NOC that matches your experience try "1111 Financial auditors and accountants"
This may work.

Hi,

If you were studying outside Canada, it doesn't matter. Foreign work experience gained while studying is acceptable. So your job title does not matter.

All the best

Hi Everyone,

While uploading the educational documents do we need to upload the mark sheet also? Also, will just the degree certificate,ECA hold good?

Some of my documents are not color copies. Can we use that or is it compulsory that CIC accepts only color scan copies.

Thanks.
Hi,

1. Degree certificates and the ECA are more than enough. No need for mark sheet.
2. All document should be in their original colour. So you need to scan all documents as they are. If the original is in black and white then its fine. If not, it may cause problems.

regards

Hi everyone. I have a question and I read many pages in this thread, but it is still not clear.

If the job is part time continuous under the same NOC with the same employer, but the job title changes during that time frame in less than one year, would that count as continuous job experience?

I have a friend who lives in the US and has been a TA or RA since August 2014.
He worked for 20 hrs per week. However, his job title has been changing from TA to RA every year. So he has equivalent of almost 2.5 years of full-time experience, but it is not 1560 hours under the same title. There is no gap between his jobs. One ends today and the next one starts right the next day, and they are all under the same NOC and with the same supervisor. but they just changed his job title every year. Would that be considered a continuous job even though his title changed?

Also his title in HR system is Graduate research Assistant and Graduate Teaching Assistant which are different from the list of the titles under that NOC. Can he write his actual titles? or should the titles be exactly similar to the ones on NOC website?
Hi,

This is continuous work experience. As advised, just explain this in you LOE.
The job title does not matter as long as the duties and responsibilities match.

Kind regards

Thanks Tanaka.

Actually I answered NO to this question before ITA.

Now after ITA, same question is there for primary as well as dependent section.
I have answered YES in both primary and dependent sections Immigration history(with same UCI (old) in both sections and same File# mentioned)
And in statutory questions as well.


a) Should I decline ITA and again come back to pool to rectify the answer in next draw?
b) Should I answer YES everywhere in primary and dependent's immigration history and statutory questions and send them in LOE about the mistake done before ITA?

Which option should I go with?
a)
or
b)

Appreciate your response.
Thanks.
Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

Do not decline the ITA, you are allowed to change information pos-ITA as long as you explain it.
Answer all questions truthfully and explain in your LOE. (option B)

Don't worry, all will be well.

Thank you TanakaM,
1.I studied and worked outside Canada, but one thing makes me worry is that my job title was engineer while I was in the second year of my university study, is that OK? or the officer may questions that how I had engineering job title while I was studying!
*By the way, I can move my work experience to personal history because I don't need to claim any CRS point on this work experience and mention my job title as civil engineer while I was in the second year of university.
2.On the other hand, is it considered as misrepresentation if I ask the employee to change my job title to technician in reference letter?

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.
Please a translation to French of this
