Hi, I am a PhD student at UW. I knew Canada intends to accept up to 1,000 international PhD students per year as permanent residents through the Federal Skilled Worker Program. This is my third academic year and my application is eligible for processing. My application is eligible for processing now then it will be assessed against minimum requirements. The requirements for work experience are :
• for at least one year, continuous, and paid (full-time or the equivalent in part-time), AND
• Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations) or Skill Level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades) on the CanadianNational Occupational Classification (NOC) list. (Note: The NOC is a system for classifying jobs in Canada. The link will take you to the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada’s website.)
My question is if teaching assistant and research assistant are considered as work experiences. Because I studied all the time and never worked in a company before.
Thanks a lot!
