Hi
I am a graduate (BSEE) electrical engineer working in the computer software industry
for the last two years. My particular area is Web services/E-commerce/Java. I live
in Pakistan.
I want to apply for immigration to Canada.
A friend of mine told me I would be very lucky if I get through because my
educational background is Electrical Engineering and I am professionally working in a
separate industry.
I differed. Hardware and software are among many fields where
Electrical/Computer/Software/Computer_Science conveniently converge. Why the
above notion?
Can anybody contribute on the issue?

The current selection criteria has education/training requirements for each
occupation. In most cases, this requirement is for an education that is in the field
or in a related field of the occupation. There are exceptions, and immigration
officials can use discretion to determine the consistency, or if the candidate is
otherwise employable in Canada.
