NAFTA - Computer Systems Analyst
Hi--
I'm a U.S. citizen, and I want to work in Canada after college.
(I'm graduating with a B.S. degree in Computer Science in December 02)
I'm not quite sure what kind of duties "Computer Systems Analysts" do under
NAFTA definition.
Does anyone have any idea how NAFTA application is approved?
What about for Programmer/Systems Analyst?
Thank you!

Systems Analyst 030.167-014
(profess. & kin.) Analyzes user requirements, procedures, and problems to
automate processing or to improve existing computer system: Confers with
personnel of organizational units involved to analyze current operational
procedures, identify problems, and learn specific input and output
requirements, such as forms of data input, how data is to be summarized, and
formats for reports. Writes detailed description of user needs, program
functions, and steps required to develop or modify computer program. Reviews
computer system capabilities, workflow, and scheduling limitations to
determine if requested program or program change is possible within existing
system. Studies existing information processing systems to evaluate
effectiveness and develops new systems to improve production or workflow as
required. Prepares workflow charts and diagrams to specify in detail
operations to be performed by equipment and computer programs and operations
to be performed by personnel in system. Conducts studies pertaining to
development of new information systems to meet current and projected needs.
Plans and prepares technical reports, memoranda, and instructional manuals
as documentation of program development. Upgrades system and corrects errors
to maintain system after implementation. May assist COMPUTER PROGRAMMER
(profess. & kin.) 030.162-010 in resolution of work problems related to flow
charts, project specifications, or programming. May prepare time and cost
estimates for completing projects. May direct and coordinate work of others
to develop, test, install, and modify programs.
From my experience they really want to know that you're not just a
programmer. Actual programming duties should total no more than 20% of your
time in the position.
