Hello,
I am currently based in USA and have been working here as a Business Analyst for the past 6 years. I wish to relocate to Canada and wanted to know the exact code under which I should be applying for the Federal Skilled Worker category. Am I eligible to apply in this category based on my profession? I have a Masters degree and have given the TOEFL (test of english as a foreign language) as well. I am meeting the required points when i take a free assessment, but was not sure which exact code I should apply within the federal skilled worker category..Can someone please let me know? Thanks in advance and I appreciate your help in this matter.
 
TOEFL won't be accepted. You must take IELTS.

If you want to apply as a Federal Skilled Worker and do NOT have a job offer in Canada, then the following occupations are the only ones accepted.
