Does my work experience have to be related to my education ? (CEC)

[LadySassy]

Hi guys,
I'm an international student who recently graduated in a Ontario college after 3 years, currently I have a post graduation work permit (PGWPP). I want to apply for CEC next year, but now I have a full-time job as bartender/server in a golf club. That does account as work experience for CEC? Or I need work experience related with my post-secondary education?

I'm really worried because I really enjoy my current job and find a job related to my study area is complicated now if you don't have years of experience.

Yes I know about the immigration changes. Express entry is a kick to international students.
But the Express entry accounts work experience in Canada (I think all kinds of work after graduation are valid), I want to apply for CEC through the EE. But I dunno if my current job offer qualifies as a job offer. Is a level C. But I just found this:



"5. Does my work experience have to be related to my education in order to be recognized?
For international graduates, your work experience does not have to be related to your education, as long as you have accumulated the work experience after graduating from an approved Canadian post-secondary educational institution."

Then, that could work in my case? or I misread that?

"Program eligibility

Express Entry covers three of our key economic immigration programs:

the Federal Skilled Worker Program,
the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
the Canadian Experience Class.

If you are eligible to immigrate under one of the above federal immigration programs:

we will place you in a pool with others who are also eligible,
we will then rank you and the others using several factors,
if you are one of the top candidates, you will get an Invitation to Apply
if we invite you to apply, you can apply online for permanent residence."


u do not qualify under CEC .....do u qualify under other two if no then u do not qualify for express entry

Thanks, I think I'll try with another program. I have time.

I have completed my MBA (Real Estate and Urban Infrastructure), but i am currently working as retail manager on my father's firm. Is work experience needs to be relevant with the education that we did?
Is relevancy really matters??
