I am an international student in Canada who started studying in September 2019. I have been working part-time (16 hours per week) since July 2020 as a Billingual English Tutor (B level NOC - Other Instructor) and I am fluent in French. Assuming that I will be working till July/June 2022 as a Tutor, I would have surely completed the 1 year work continuous requirement under FSW (no requirement that experience needs to be specifically foreign or canadian).
I will graduate in May 2023 with a (Canadian) Bachelor's Degree. With this and the fact that I am fluent in French, I would gain more than 480+ points under Express Entry CRS calculation tool. I calculated my score as if i had 0 work experience since the Express Entry system does not consider Canadian work done during studies. Im hoping to file right after graduation (considering i have all the paper work like medicals and all)
By May 2023, I fairly certain that FSW applications will be considered. However, is this a good plan? i do like my job as a tutor (i do want to be a teacher anyway), so i thought i would work long enough to use that experience for immigration perhaps. Is there anything im missing? Most international grads do not file right after graduation because its very hard/impractical to do continuous professional/managerial/semi-professional work experience.
I'm bit confused on what NOC to use though. Would it be "Other Instructor" or something else? Please note that I am independently teaching/tutoring students (in groups of 2-3), so it cant be teaching assistant.
