Hi Forum,
Just got a question and need your insights desperately.
To be eligible for AOS as a pgwp holder, the Alberta immigration website says that your current job must be related to your education in Alberta.
This confuses me as education is a broad term so is current job.
So here I throw out a hypothetical scenario.
Say that,
I got a business diploma degree from an Albertan college and am working as a retail sales supervisor.
Do you think above applicant will be eligible for the AOS ??
Because in my opinion, you learn accounting, inventory control, marketing, economics in a business diploma and they are related to retail sales supervisor's job duties (Control inventory level, minimize costs, calculate profits, getting delivery goods and check their punctuality and so on)
Any thoughts?

Does your NOC require post secondary education? That will be the key to match your job/NOC to your education.
