Quebec Skilled Worker Program

[define]

1. According to the consultants whom I approached for advice on Quebec Skilled Worker Program, your occupation needs to be in the occupation demand list in Quebec in order to get qualified or to get nominated for Quebec Skilled Worker Program. Is this true?

2. Secondly, I had completed graduation in Aug 2011 and 5 years period will be completed in Aug 2016. I have read on the Quebec website that one should have at least 1 year of experience related to degree if it's been more than 5 years since graduation date.

Is this condition applicable before making an application or before receiving nomination?
(Because if it is applicable in the later case and I don't get nomination before Aug 2016, I'd need 1 year exp. related to my education which I am not having.)

1. Not necessary. If your occupation is not in the "Areas of Training" list you cannot claim points for that.

Thanks a lot!

I saw the (2) point mentioned on a third party site but now checked on Quebec site, this condition is no longer now as of Jan 2016 changes.

Can you help me in finding relevant area of training for "Bachelor of Technology - Biotechnology"? I checked this list but couldn't find the exact degree.
