Hi All,

I might get answer for my question in other posts, but thought of create a new one here.
I've done my Bachelors in Pharmacy from India long time ago, then came to US for Masters and finished MBA. Worked in a pharmacy for couple of years and then got trained in IT and now working in IT industry.
My ultimate goal is to become a pharmacist if I move to Canada, but unfortunately CIC removed Pharmacist from the FSW category.
What are the other options for me to migrate to Canada? I know Computer programmers are included in FSW now, but excludes software engineers. I'm kinda both I mean I write programs for software applications, DW etc
Can I apply in this category? If not what are my options?
I really need a good advice from a attorney or immigration expert.
Any other pharmacists or canadian pharmacist seekers can guide me here for the immigration as well as the examination.

Thanks in advance for your time.

The cap for all IT related jobs has been reached for the FSW program.

So if you wish to apply now either under an IT related profession or as a pharmacist through FSW, then you first need to secure a job offer in Canada.
