Ramj:


To put this argument to bed - MSc holder can teach even BSc holders can teach in the university.

This is the way this thing works. There is a question you would be asked when creating your EE profile under work experience and it comes immediately after they ask for your NOC - that question no be mistake.

Date Sannisege first became qualified to practice in this occupation

Baba if you put your PHD graduation as the answer to this question then i tell you, you would only be getting one year work experience. But since you got the job as a MSc/Bsc holder - that was the requirement to get the job.
Then you need to put the MSc/BSc graduation as the answer to this question.


See the attached - and read the notes carefully.

Good day fams, pls does anyone have an earlier scheduled appointment for medicals either at Children practice or Q-life but would not be going anymore and willing to give out his/her appointment ? Please assist a brother if you can. Thank you

My thinking:
1. The Act clarifies the basis upon which work experience should be assessed even If the minimum requirements are not met. It seems reasonable that that if subsections (a) and (b) above are met, then the work experience will be accepted by CIC.
2. It is also reasonable to believe that an application will be given greater scrutiny and may be delayed when an applicant's credentials are vastly different from the employment requirements of the NOC.
3. A Secondary/High School certificate is vastly different from a Diploma, a Degree or a PG Degree and so it might be difficult to present a Secondary School certificate as the basis for an NOC A or B.

My 2cents to @JustCare: Don't try it. You will be required to put in your EE profile the date you became qualified to work in the job. I highly doubt it will fly if you put Secondary School certificate as your qualification for a teaching job. Teaching jobs are NOCs A and B. Finish your NYSC first to get the minimum 1yr working experience required. During your service, you can plan what to do to increase your points and make your Canada dream a reality.

Congrats Freshdad - your wife deserves some accolades.

@joo2018 thanks for this enlightening write up. But I would like to ask..

I am actually concerned about your thoughts on point 1 & 2, because I have an engineering degree both BSc & MSc. I also have and claimed 2yrs experience for NOC 4163 which falls under Skill A. Is there a possibility that there may be additional scrutiny on my application?

joo2018:
1. No need to be that concerned. The law states (point 1) that the employment requirements may not be strictly adhered to. Anyway, you are a graduate applying for NOC A.

2. Plenty of people have gotten PPR with NOC employment requirements mismatch including Newmum0615 (studied engineering and is in finance) and most people claiming NYSC for points.

3. Case officers are human beings too and may apply added scrutiny if they feel something is off with the application.

4. Added scrutiny doesn't necessarily lead to refusal. Procedural fairness demands that the case officer request for ADR or Interview if he/she is not convinced of the facts of an application.

Hi please have you received biometric letter?

stonecoldcafe:


Thank you. I sent u a pm, could you pls respond once u get d chance

joo2018:
Interesting discussion earlier between @ramj and @iamkunski. I decided to do a little bit of research before contributing.

To recap:
@ramj wrote that "be informed that any work experience before min requirement for NOC is invalid...any work experience before the NOC's minimum educational requirement does not counts"

@iamkunski accepted that experience gotten during full time study does not count but quoted from here: "Note: The applicant does not need to demonstrate that they meet the “employment requirements” listed in the NOC occupational description."
On this basis, he advised @JustCare who asked: "After my secondary school, I taught in a school for 2 years. Right now I'm about to be called for NYSC. Can I apply with that two years experience while also tendering my BSc as my highest educational qualifiecat?"

Points to note:
1. 3 NOC main groupings for FSW are: Skill Type 0 (zero): management jobs, Skill Level A: professional jobs that usually call for a degree from a university and Skill Level A: professional jobs that usually call for a degree from a university (here).

2.The regulation itself (here): "(3) For the purposes of subsection (1), a skilled worker is considered to have experience in an occupation, regardless of whether they meet the employment requirements of the occupation as set out in the occupational descriptions of the National Occupational Classification, if they performed

(a) the actions described in the lead statement for the occupation as set out in the occupational descriptions of the National Occupational Classification; and

(b) at least a substantial number of the main duties of the occupation as set out in the occupational descriptions of the National Occupational Classification, including all the essential duties.

3. Experience of a fellow Nler @DaddyTheFather (here) who was given an ADR to provide basis of being able to work in NOC 1111 (audit) as he has an engineering degree.

My thinking:
1. The Act clarifies the basis upon which work experience should be assessed even If the minimum requirements are not met. It seems reasonable that that if subsections (a) and (b) above are met, then the work experience will be accepted by CIC.
2. It is also reasonable to believe that an application will be given greater scrutiny and may be delayed when an applicant's credentials are vastly different from the employment requirements of the NOC.

To corroborate your point above, I applied for GCMS in August in order to specifically check if my pension fund was considered as the PF is the only source of additional fund to complete my POF requirement. To my amusement, I received my GCMS notes today; lo and behold my Pension fund statement with LeadwayPensure was accepted and considered without any review required. Please see screenshot attached.

Started this journey in October 2017 after we made a decision to relocate.

IELTS showed me pepper as I had to write it three times:

Received GCMS 2 October (everything looks fine and I remember sharing here my PF was considered as POF as minimum required fund was marked met)

Then the long awaited golden mail arrived!!!!

My Uncle got his PPR today.

He got an ITA on 8th August with CRS 456.

AOR: AUGUST 15
MEP: SEPTEMBER 13
GHOST UPDATES (NOT BY EMAIL): SEPTEMBER 27 & OCTOBER 3
PPR: OCTOBER  5TH MIDNIGHT, DATED OCTOBER 4TH.

He is not based in Nigeria but is currently visiting now till december. I assume he can submit the passport to the nearest VAC like lekki or Abuja, am i right? Or it has to be sent to the LVO based in his location abroad?

I feel awkward posting this because i have been reading silently for years and see that some people are still waiting for the golden mail after several long months, guys do not despair, what will be yours cannot be denied.

For others that are yet to apply, canada awaits you all, goodluck to everyone.

He first needs to send a mail explaining his change of location and requesting for a change in VAC.

Please house, I want to claim points with my NYSC work experience as a Teacher in a secondary school, which NOC did it fall under?

My prayer for all still waiting for IELTS, ECA, ITA, POF and PPR is that it will surely come speedily in Jesus’ name. Amen

This tread is very informative and is got selfless people always willing to share. May God bless you all.
