Hi Guys,
I have a doubt, I have 10+ years work experience of Technical sales and I have degree in bacholer of commerce ( 3 year Integrated course). So my work experience doesn't mismatch with my education.

Kindly let me know.

Regards,
Perfectly fine.

Your attorney is wrong (doesn't even surprise me anymore). Education and work experience do not have to be related.

If your case is not super complicated, I strongly suggest you apply by yourself, without using a lawyer as a representative.
My husband have Bachelors in science and 16 year experience as software engineer outside canada. Is he eligible to apply in EE? how many points for education and experience?

No, it doesn't matter. Your work experience and your education don't have to match.

Hi all,

@legalfalcon, kindly comment & educate on the issue of Work experience matching Education so that our friends with such concerns may be appropriately guided.

Any senior who has successfully received PR status and had work experience different from education can also kindly comment. Thank you.

they already said it a hundred times on a hundred separate threads. not to mention several people above confirmed it doesn't need to match except of course if you're practicing medicine or law without a degree. career changes are very common and rarely anyone ends up working in the field of their education.

- I have completed diploma mechanical engineering (in distance learning) is it eligible ?
Most likely,yes, but you would have to submit it for an educational credentials assessment (ECA) before you can even submit a profile.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=681&top=29


- How many points, consider for that??
Probably 7, but you need to get the ECA.

You can read about how many points you may be elgiible for here -

- my current last experience is totally different than my education....so is it eligible ???
Already answered above in this thread.

- Retail salespersons (NOC 6421-C) can i get my experience score??
This NOC not considered "skilled" and is therefore not eligible for points. IRCC considers skilled occupations to be NOC levels O, A, or B (alas, not C).

Local agent said I must hv experience in mechanical field in last 10 yrs other wise i cant eligible

That is because your retail NOC is not eligible. If you had at least 1 year (hopefully up to 3 years) as a mechanic/technician within the past 10 years, that would count.
