I have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and am close to completing a 2-year Master's in Computer Science. I also have 2 years of foreign work experience in web development in Pakistan.
Given the high CRS scores for Express Entry, I am considering gaining 6 months of experience as a Construction Electrician at a local company to qualify for the Category Based Draws for Trades Workers.
My concern is whether immigration officials might question the credibility of this trades experience, given my higher-level education and background in web development.
Specifically, does it seem suspicious & unacceptable in terms of the immigration officials that someone with an Electrical Engineering degree and a well-paying web development job is taking on a significantly low-paying manual labor position as a Construction Electrician with a wage that is less than Half of my latest salary as a web developer?
Or, do you think that they only rely on the Documentary Evidence and decide based on that, even if it seems unusual and does not make sense for some? For this, I plan to provide a reference letter, monthly bank statements reflecting salary transfers, and an income tax certificate. But, is it enough to justify this radical shift to the Canadian immigration department?
