Hi Etno

Is there a NOC that either you or your wife fits in to based upon your past and/or present work experience?

Take a look at the eligible occupations list here - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp
 
Etno said:
4011 University professors and lecturers.

Then go through the following page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

For each of the segments mentioned, calculate your points. Add them up.

See if you score a minimum of 67 points.

Go through the segments in detail and DO NOT assume that you score certain points in certain segments.
 
Thanks. 4011 University professors and lecturers (for me) and 1111 Financial auditors and accountants (for my spouse). But what I have to do step by step for the application. This is my big problem.

You have to go through the link IN DETAIL first my friend. Then come back with specific questions on the segments or sections that confuse you.

Start with FSW Canada in google if you wish.

I could explain the whole thing here but that will be re-inventing the wheel. :)

As Nishesh rightly said, you must go through the Guide and the Document checklist thoroughly.

Guide: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG7TOC.asp

Checklist: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp

Basically, you need to fill all the forms in the checklist, attach supporting documents and mail it to CIC at the given address. That's all. Apart from forms and your certificates, some of the crucial documents that you will need are

-IELTS Test result (Mandatory)
-Educational Credential Assessment Report (Mandatory)

Ask if any thing is not clear, after you go through those links.

Regards

I am not a University professor, but I figured it out, no problem!
 
Thanks friends. This missunderstanding came from a simple thing. I involuntarily misprised application forms, I can't open them because of google chrome (internet explorer is more suitable), and I left. I have done a simple registration with my data thinking this is the application form. This is the problem. Pardon my friends and thanks for everything, especially nskatcv.

No problem.

Yes, the forms sometimes don't open, but you can always right-click and save them on your computer. And then open in Adobe Reader.

On this forum, we thank each other by clicking on [Good] under a person's profile name. :P

I thank you (+1) for asking questions, and Nishesh (+1) for helping out. ;)

Regards

You need a minimum of one year of full-time experience (or the equivalent in continuous part-time experience) in your primary NOC to qualify. You indicated that your 11 years has been part time. So you probably won't get credit for 11 years, but for some lesser amount. If you worked exactly half time, you'd get credit for 5.5 years (for example). Also, for your NOC, teaching experience you had while you were a full-time student (such as lecturing while studying for your masters or PhD) doesn't qualify as work experience. Take this into account when calculating your points for work experience.

You should go through and calculate for both your wife and yourself and apply under the one you think is the stronger application, or possibly even under both.

Good luck.
 
Thanks future_canadian. I have a question: if the equivalent in continuous part-time experience (in hours) several times higher ?! For example, one full-time experience (here in Albania) for a lecturer is about 450 hours/year, and/but for me, part-time experience is about 1600 hours for 11 years (approximately), not including my 7 years full-time as a researcher (unfortunately NOC don't include this as a job).
So, should count working hours or only full-time experience ??!!

I have a suspicion: at N.O.C is only "music professor-university" not "music lecturer-university" (this is my status).

Something else, at N.O.C there is "research assistant – university" and "teaching assistant – university". I worked 7 years as a researcher in a Institute (not university), and 11 years teaching assistant at university (or lecturer because are similar here). In the end I'm a little uncertain.

As far as points go, you're fine, because as long as you have 6+ years you get maximum points for experience.

If your "part time" experience is 1600 hours a year (wow, that's a lot to be considered part time), it will be considered nearly full time and I believe you will get max points, and considering the length of the experience you should make the minimum one-year requirement easily.

As long as it was not while you were simultaneously a full-time student I think you should be ok.

Good luck!
