Skill Trade Eligibility and Requirements for International Graduate students

[ganharsh]

Good day guys,

I am working on open work-permit and my score is 448 right now, after 1 and half years of current experience in Canada. while creating express entry profile under work tab there is SKill Trade Eligibility criteria which i don't have it right now but for curiosity when i said yes there it shows my NOC code . I did bit of research for ontario and figured that my field doesn't have mandatory skill trade certification requirement. However it does boost up points if i say yes. Does any one know or share more information about Skill Trades for Ontario province and How does it works ? Look forward for your views.

Regards,
Harsh

This thing is only for trade occupations like Electrician, Plumbers or Car Mechanic. Sometimes they called Red Seal certificate.

So does that mean , for IT Technicians we can't earn points from Skill Trade ?

You need to check with the College of trade in your corresponding province. They have a list of occupations that they give the Certification to. Additionally, you need to pass a test (examination) to achieve that

IT Tech positions are not skill trade. Read more here:
