Is it possible to add a new occupation to an already submitted application.

I submitted my application to the local Canadian embassy in October 08. However none of the occupations on my application matched the list of 38 that were released a month later. I have some part-time experience as a plumber. I was wondering if it would be possible to add my experience as a plumber to my existing application since I have not yet received word  from Nova Scotia of a rejection. I think this would increase my chances of not being rejected. Is it possible to send the additional information to Nova Scotia?

I also notice that the instructions in the CIC's website that accompany the new list of 38 occupation states 'You must have had at least one year of continuous full-time experience in this job within the last 10 years'. Does this mean that part-time experience in one of the 38 is no longer valid?

1. I doubt is you can amend you application at this stage, they probably would consider it self-serving at this point.
2. The work in the NOC 38 can be part time but it must be continuous, you divide the no. of hours by 1950 to get a year. Example you worked at an eligible job 15 hrs per week, you would have to work those hours for 130 weeks.

thanx for th info....so it would be better to wait for a response from them and if rejected re-apply?
