There is no rule that says your fields of study should match and that they should be the same as the NOC for your work experience. However, in evaluating your work experience, CIC will look at a number of supporting documents. These include reference letters, pay slips etc. at this time they could also look at your salary and your qualifications to determine if they match your job. Therefore, if for example you claim to have experience as engineer but your highest qualification was a diploma is marketing, then CIC would have reasons to doubt your work reference. If your qualification happened to be more than your job required, then I dont think this will lead to doubt.aspiringme said:Thanks Anya654 for the charged up revert...
You are kind enough to untangle the jigsaw puzzle. One more clarification is sought as far as my eligibility is concerned. I did Bachelor (2004 pass out) as well as Masters (2008 pass out) in computer applications. However, my experience is in the banking sector(More than six years). In the opinion of the same consultant, I don't meet the eligibility criteria on the basis that my field of education and experience are different altogether. Does education and experience necessarily need to match? The NOC which matches my job duties is 6235 Financial sales representatives. The Employment requirements are:
Completion of secondary school and extensive general banking experience is usually required.
A bachelor's degree or college diploma related to commerce or economics may be required.
Kindly throw light...
Thanks in advance!
I hope I explained clear enough.
