This is about work experience.
Does any of you have some official information as to whether Postdoctoral Research experience (almost all research, and negligible pupil teaching) qualifies towards NOC 4011.
Although post docs are a normal pre-requisite for faculty positions these days, but they don't really stand true on the NOC 4011 requirements.
Another thing on the same question is whether Teaching Assistant experience gained during the PhD qualifies ? CIC says job experience must be full-time or at least 30 hrs per week, but TA's are usually 20 hrs per week. But then what if someone has more than 1 year TA experience that would effectively yield similar total hours of experience.
Thanks.
