I am 26 year old Indian citizen, based in US on H1B visa working as a Manufacturing/Process Engineer, Full time 2-3 years. Finished undergraduate studies from U.S.; also have couple of certifications (PMP & Six Sigma Black Belt).
I am planning to apply for PR under skilled worker & Professional, as I do not have a job offer letter from an employer in Canada. I see there are possibly two categories I might qualify for NOC 0811 Primary Production Managers (except Agriculture) OR 1122 Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management although I do not have manager in my title the job description is similar to both. I understand 1122 cap is reached which would start fresh on July 1st. Which category would one (experienced/expert) suggest applying in? Considering it would take me at least 1-2 month to get all the paper work ready (IELTS, Bank statement, etc.)
Also, please point me in some direction if someone thinks I might qualify for Provincial nominees without a job offer.
Your choice of NOC should depend on your Job duties. You can go to following web site to find the right NOC for your self
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2006/Welcome.aspx
You would need to submit a letter to CIO with your job duties to be able to convince the VO that you belong to the NOC that you have applied under. 1122 is already full as you know, and there is no gaurantee that it will be there in next cycle as changes may happen to the NOC list before the next cycle.
