Hello all,

I have been looking into the possibility of migrating to Canada, but one thing that lets me down is my education.

I left school and then completed my A Levels, but did not go on to obtain a degree.

It looks as though this is going to be a real problem if I want to migrate.

I have over 10 years experience in the IT industry and have spent the last 5 years full-time programming. Does experience count towards an independent skilled migration, as all of the on-line assessment things I have seen do not really take this into consideration, and I have only obtained a score of about 62

Hi
It sounds like you have a dilema similar to mine,
I posted off my application skilled worker to London in Feb, not being sure of what the pass mark would be, I took a chance.
Now I know I score 64 points.
Have you had your credentials and experience internationally assessed ? its a real eye opener,you think your worth more than you actually are in Canada anyway !!
In Britain the experience seems to stand more stead.
I have had three applications submitted so far but this time is the last. The last two were to do with the family business scheme.

I am already preparing further education
You maybe should do the same before applying.
Are you in Britain ?
