No, that doesn't matter. As long as it's a skilled ( skill level 0, A or B job ). Keep in mind that
management positions usually require work experience tho, and it might raise a red flag for the VO
when you finish your studies in one area and then work in a management position in a different area.
VOs are advised to disregard the job requirements outlined on the HRSDC website.

No, that's totally fine. I'm talking about skill level 0 positions

They usually require some sort of work experience. Like, you can't simply show up and get
into a management position ( ie manage a IT department and 20 workers ) with NO experience at all, you
know what I'm saying?

No, experience gained outside of Canada doesn't matter, but if you feel like it would
benefit your application, you can submit a letter of explanation and explain yourself.

I dont want to submit letter about my expereince gained in back home.I dont want him to raise a doubt about it.I just want to include that experience in personal history section in Schedule A form.
Is that ok

Based on my own personal experience - the answer would be NO

My major has nothing to do with my job and it wasn't an issue for my application
