Hi there,

My wife and I are planning to apply for CEC or BCPNP after increasing our CRSs through work experience in Canada.

Hypothetically, if my wife gets a job as an administrative assistant without being qualified, would she still be able to claim points on skilled work experience?

She has a Bachelor in Social sciences with no experience as an administrative assistant.
Therefore, according to the NOC description she’s unqualified for this job.However, some companies offer a position without prior experience or related certifications.

The following is the description of this position on the NOC website.

13110- Administrative assistants
Employment requirements
  • Completion of secondary school is usually required.
  • Completion of a one- or two-year college or other program for administrative assistants or secretaries or previous clerical experience is required.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you everyone!
