NOC - Job vs. Actual University Degree?

[o box]

Hello

I would like to apply through the skilled worker program.

I have a bachelor of science in biology but I have been working for about a year in advertising (ads, social media, marketing....etc) and I have not yet directed worked in the biology field.

I would like to know how to consolidate these two things? If I apply through one of the below, it says a degree in advertising is required for most of these professions (except for a few where it says "is usually required") and I do not have a degree in marketing.

Your help is much appreciated

I don’t think advertising is a regulated field in Canada. You’ll therefore not be required to have a degree in that field. You can apply in the NOC that matches your work experience, the field you have a degree in shouldn’t be an issue.
