Eligible for immigration

[vickysan]

Hi,
I have some queries regarding my job . I did 2 year diploma in tourism and travel from ottawa Ontario. And now i got a three year workpermit. Now i am working in Indian restaurant as a Supervisor and getting 40 hrs per week but that job is not related to my field. So, could you please tell me after getting one year experience in that my job is qualify for immigration under CEC.
Thanks

You would benefit by learning about the program requirements as early as possible, as it can take some time to obtain all required documents (e.g. language test scores, police clearances, etc):

As long as your position is classified as "skilled," you will be eligible, it does not have to be related to your field of study. You need to identify the NOC code for your position, based on job duties and responsibilities (not job title or employment requirements).

"Skilled" is NOC level 0, A, or B:

The type of establishment does matter (restaurant vs. cafeteria), and in particular, the supervisory duties are what will distinguish between an unskilled (e.g. waiter) position and a "skilled" position (assistant manager).

I don't know what your duties/responsibilities are. I have not found 'restaurant supervisor' on the NOC website, but it implies at least some managerial responsibilities. You will have to identify the correct NOC for you, based on the job duties that you perform - and that your employer will verify in writing in the letter of employment.

Chef and cook are both classified as "skilled," so if you work for 1 year (full-time) as a chef or cook, then, yes, you would probably qualify.
