Dear fellow immigrants to be,

my wife has master's in computer science, but no work experience in the field. She has an excellent mindset, though. What are her chances of finding a job in the field?

Does she have permanent residency in Canada? Or is she looking for a job as a foreign worker? If she is looking for a job as a foreign worker - assume there is no chance she will find a job in Canada. If you want to move here - you should be focusing on getting PR first instead.

Thank you for your reply.
Actually, we are in the process of obtaining our PR, so let me rephrase my question - when / if we get our PR what are her chances?
I am a pharmacist, and that is regulated profession. I expect my way will be little slower then hers, and it would be really important for us, if she can find a job in the field (over 40000CAD after tax/year or more).
So what are her chances?
Would you advise us to wait for a year for her to get some work experience in our home country, even though we will lose 5 CRS points on age?
We are at 442 score now, so next year we will be 437.

Thank you in advance

You may need to focus on increasing your score given the EE draw has been in the 460 range for a while or otherwise look at PNP option. Without any work experience at all might be challenging to get a developer role but would assume same challenge in any country when starting out.

You can wait and get some work experience......to enhance your score and it will also help you to get a job in Canada in your field.
