Different education with different work experience

[chiguy]

Hi everyone, just need some advise , would I still be qualified to apply for immigrant visa while my education is different from my working experience...If not, would there be other options for me...Thank You..

sure you can qualify for most cases but its not going to work if you studied to be an accountant and then say that you worked as a medical doctor. in most cases it is ok that education is different from job

BUT IF YOU HAVE STUDIES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND WORKING AS A ACCOUNTANT IT IS ACCPECTABLE OR NOT

I AM NOT A CANADIAN IMMIGRATION EXPERT SO I DON'T KNOW. YOU SHOULD SEARCH THE TOPIC, I THINK IT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED. GOOD LUCK AND DON'T USE CAPS PLEASE.

I guess it would be Ok. Except for cases in which you must be qualified through education to practice a job (like the eample of a medical doctor), I think it would be no problem. Will there be a problem if a medical doctor has work experience as a plumber and this is on the 38 jobs list and he wants to apply using this? If I were the immigration officer, I would say no.

yes it is acceptable..but IO may ask u in interview why u chose work in field which is not according to ur qualification..

I am not a immigration expert ...This is just my view

there are a lot of people who has done a degree in computer science and doing job in accounting , marketing so what do u think abt those people .

 

[rupeshhari]

they are in teh same situation as the other with CS qualification and accounting experience.

you asked what do we think about these people. I am just merely saying that CIC will treat such people the same as someone who studied CS and works in accounting. I think its believable that people can do that, but i am also sure CIC might scrutinize the work experience just to make sure the person is not lying.

If its worth anything, i studied engineering and worked in a bank for a while...oh and in IT too (for a short while) and I am not worried about CIC scrutinizing that part of my application. I am only worried about the english proficiency part because i really dont want to do the IELTS.

thank you guys, in addition, say that if they are evaluating your application could they give you credit(points) for having that education while settling in Canada doing different work?

HI its ok.but as all says a doctor can’t say I was working as accountant or something is not related at all to doctors jobs,
My education is diploma in business administration so my previews work was as accountant part time 2 years.
But now I am working permanently as secretary.
