i was a management student and now work as a chef. Am I eligible for applying permanent residency under canadian experience class after gaining 1 year of experience?
If it was full time, I guess you are eligible.
Check for your NOC category and skill level, a quick search gave me, "chefs -( NOC 6321-B)". Verify this once and you should be good to go.
You will need employment verification from your employer detailing your job responsibilities as a chef and it should match with your NOC category.
Good Luck.
