As long as your employer can make a logical explanation on why he has hired you.

as far as I know, they do consider it. But I do not think it will be the main reason to reject someone.

I think it generates some "discussion" (or red flag) in one way versus another:

Example: If a PhD Econ graduate claims experience as a cook (I know this is excluded, it's just an illustration) is more acceptable than a graphics design graduate doing portfolio risk management.

Exactly... as long as it makes sense...

Lots of IT guys come from electrical background..... and even from just an engineering background. One fo my coworkers is a Mechanical Engineer, another is a Chemical Engineer and the ydo the same work as I do (I am a Software Engineer).

If they have any doubt, they will either send you a letter or call your employer to verify.

^You're not getting it.
Education and other factors are taken within the context of the work experience and other eligibility requirements.
It's not viewed in isolation such that it will result in a rejection on its own (unlike criminal convictions or having HIV which will automatically place one on the rejection list).

Yes, it's not mentioned in the guidelines, but they do consider it, otherwise, what's the use of asking it in the first place? I suppose CIC has seen cases where someone with limited education take advantage of the program by upgrading to a qualified role.

As Jalex pointed out: does everything make sense to this applicant, considering all factors?

it is not a good sign for the application, if all of your other condition looks terrible, they may reject in this way.

if not, I think is ok and really depends the VO is have a good day . when I say other condition, I mean, like work experience hours , salary, .etc.

as I know, if they start question certain case , it means they have to hold a meeting to discuss it, reviewed by several VO.

that's all I know currently.

so buddy, don't worry it , it is just some minor issue as others. it is flexible for VO actually.
