Re: Work experience are different between in home country and in Canada

Hi all,

My friend worked as a Graphic Designer (NOC B) for 1.5 years in home country. When she came to Canada, she made a career change to study 2-year diploma in culinary arts, and currently working full time as a cook (NOC B) for around 6 months.

Working full-time for 6 months as a cook in Canada doesn't make her eligible to apply under Express Entry, but if she claimed her 1.5 years of experience back home, she passed the eligibility test. However, her job backgrounds in her home country and now have changed.

Does anyone know if it matters to apply under Express Entry when her work experience in home country is different from her current full-time job right now in Canada?

Your advice are appreciated!

No, that's perfectly fine. She can apply under FSW via Express Entry.

Thank you so much for your advice. Do you mind if I have one more question.

She already sent EOI to Manitoba where she is living and working now to apply nomination. At that time, they asked if she had an Express Entry profile and she selected No as she didn't know that she was eligible to apply under Express Entry. Is it possible for her to create an Express Entry profile now after she already sent EOI to Manitoba province? If yes, how could the officers know her Express Entry profile and MPNP are linked?
