Dear Myank

Store Pharmacist Experience can come under NOC 3131??because I don't have retail experience i have med rep experience and from last two years store pharmacist experience..

Second BEFORE this fast processing rule which came in 2008 , we only send the application form mentioning the type of experience and their dates without mentioning the employer's name/organization...Suppose if somebody got rejection at that time..Do they (CIO) have data record of that application form or not???
Because we just send the application not documents ..
 
Dear Moyrzg,

Rule of thumb to get PER is to have 67 points. So first check your points.If its 67 then fine.

Then make sure your job duties & roles match with NOC :3131.

Read carefully application process with new guide line . Follow all instructions .

Regards,
Mayank

Dear Jakwi,

I advise you to check the Job roles you r doing & match with NOC :3131 job roles.

It does not effect Tital of Post. What matters is Job roles. So go through it properly & analyse.

As you got refusal in 2008. So It is not going to effect your current application. Yes but you must know what was the reason of rejection & at what stage ? So You have to be care full on it.

Regards,
Mayank

thnx for the info OBie,

this is a very stressful month (JULY ) 2011 as since 2010 i applied NOC3131 it was returned 3 months after bec the IELTS orig i sent is Academic.
so again i scheduled another ielts General right away but the noc Cap 3131 already reached limit.
all my docs are ready except for the updates of my savings and also another police clearance (updated).

I have my ielts, police and my savings,,,,

dilemma... i also scheduled my PEBC test Jan 2012 and have all ready and paid for even the PEBC that I can give to the embassy as proof that I havve test,.,
BUt i reli need to prioritize ryt?

I should do this PR first and wait for result and just reschedule my test... bec if I apply as TRF (temp resident visa) while I have pending PR application they might deny me....
with their thinking I have no intention of going back home

pls,,, anybody?
any thoughts on this?

You can always take the PEBC evaluating exam in London.
You don't have to go to Canada to take it

This is the reply i got from CHC ND for the question of whether D.Pharmacy can apply under NOC :3131.

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi.

Follow these steps to determine if your work experience is in an occupation that is on the list of occupations eligible for processing under the Federal Skilled Worker Class:

STEP 1. Go to the NOC website at: http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC-CNP/app/index.aspx?lc=e

STEP 2. Click on “To Search the NOC...”

STEP 3. Follow the instructions to find the NOC category that matches your work experience.

The initial description and list of main duties must match what you did at your last job(s).
If the description does not match your work experience, then you might not have the experience you need to apply as a skilled worker.

Look through the NOC list to see if your experience matches another occupation. Check all the jobs you have had in the past 10 years to see if you have at least one continuous year of full-time (or part-time equivalent) work experience in a job that will qualify you as a skilled worker.

Note: Remember that you must have work experience in an occupation in Skill type 0 or Skill level A or B and that your experience must have occurred in the 10 years before you applied.

STEP 4. Consult the list of eligible occupations

Once you have determined the NOC category or categories that match your work experience, consult the list of occupations that are eligible for processing as per the Ministerial Instructions: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp.

Note: If none of your occupations is on this list, you do not meet the criteria to be placed into processing under the Ministerial Instructions.

We trust that this information will be of assistance.

now, it would be better (IMO) to wait till the new rules and regulations coming out in July 01, 2011.
