Hi All,

I am 35 years old. I have 6 years of experience as 'Software Tester' and I want to apply for Canadian PR under the category 'NOC 2173 Software engineers and designers'. I am about to get my WES done.

Qualifications:
1. Bachelor degree: 'Bachelors in Arts' (3 Years degree)
2. Masters degree: 'Master's in Computer Applications' (3 Years degree)

As per the requirements mentioned online, in order to apply under ' 'NOC 2173 Software engineers and designers' category a 'Bachelors in Computer' degree is required. My bachelors degree is not relevant, however I have done Masters in the relevant field. So will they consider my application based on my Master's degree and relevant work experience? or am I not eligible to apply for PR?

I look forward to receiving your response.

Thanks and Regards,
Aneel

Educational qualifications have no bearing during the application processing with CIC. Any which ways you are absolutely eligible to apply.

You can apply for the PR as long as you have sufficient work experience and minimum education requirements. Even I feel stream is not a matter here.
