Am I eligible for 0213

[chandler]

Hi Guys,

This is my leadership experience summary in my 9 yrs work ex -

I was a tech lead, not a project mgr


- leading a team of software developers, conducting status meetings and reporting project status to senior manager
- leading all phases of SDLC
- mentoring developers in the organization
- providing input for resource estimation, time estimation and schedule planning in the project plan
- conducting hiring interviews for various positions
- writing client proposals with technical details and budgeting and preparing marketing brochures
- visiting clients for sales pitch

Right now I am a senior consultant in the US

I believe you may be eligible. If you can add Budgest Estimation for project then that might help.

dude i m still confuse. as per your reply i need to know does they really entertain my Application form because i will write "SR Software developer" in my designation. I am afraid that after posting my form they reject it cause of my written designation. Though i can provide experience letters or refernce letters which are whitens of my managerial tasks which are perform by me in my current job.
kindly help me so that i can initiate my application procedure.

regards

Frankly, it depends on the IO but you are not very close to main duties mentioned under 0213. Most of us on forum think that if you mention duties like
Hiring, Budget Management, Appraisal, training recommendation, defining policies, plan and direct any area then you are good to go.

But there have been cases who have been successful w/o some of these duties. See the thread below
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/my-duties-mentioned-for-0213-t32455.0.html

So in a nutshell try to add duties around, policy making, budget, hiring and training recommendation, appraisals etc to be sure but there is a possibility to sail through w/o it also

yeah...I guess the other factors matter as well...like they say in job search, regardless of you are a VP or not there should be a progressive career path in your resume...that network admin dude must be good at that

simply the designation of project manager would have solved the issue, but the fact is, I don't have it...because of the career/life choices I made...because I was keen to study and move to the US rather than build my career back in India

chalo koi nehi! enjoy while you can
