Hi,
I am Loki, working a Business Development Executive. I have completed my Masters in Marketing and BTech in IT. My total work experience is 18 months .

I am planning to migrate to Canada and I dont have relevant work experience, so I have planned to pursue Post Graduate Diploma Certificate in Canada to gain some Canadian experience.

My local educational consultant in India says that, it is better to hide MBA experience so it becomes easy to clear the VISA procedure !!
Reasons to hide my MBA experience are as follows,
- I have already done my masters and I wont be able to justify my new course with the VISA Officer (diploma) as the diploma is one step lower than MBA

I have the following doubts
Will this affect my job prospects ?
Hiding the MBA part for entering has any effects on my PR process ? Can I disclose my MBA for PR process ?

Thanks,
 

good boy

Your consultant is right. However, bear in mind that you have to explain your study gap. also once hidden, you won't be able to show this MBA for PR application. Choice is yours.

Thanks for the response.
Please clarify these 2 scenarios,
1) I pursue post graduate certificate course without disclosing my MBA and gain some experience. Does absence of MBA has any effects on the CRS score ?
Lets say, I have 2 years work experience, by the time I start applying for the college and will the 2 years in Canada be considered as Canadian experience ?
2) I apply directly for PR. What are the job opportunities for Business Development Executive ?

1. Did you get that 2 yrs experience in Canada? if yes, then it will be considered Canadian experience (with some terms and conditions, check PR application page for details). Having a master degree will probably make your score slightly better. You can check it yourself at cic.gc.ca CRS tool page.

2. No idea.
