Hi,

I apologize beforehand if this is a recurring question. I have searched through the
newsgroup archive, as well as on different immigration sites, but could not find a
definitive answer. I am a citizen of Italy and permanent resident of the United
States. I am currently in the States, living and working in San Diego. I have been
offered an an associate professorship in physics at University of Alberta. I am
wondering whether this type of employment is exempt from HRDC "job validation",
i.e., whether I can walk with my copy of the offer into a canadian consulate and
request an employment authorization. It would seem to me that a case like mine
could fall under Section
20(5)(e)(i) of the Immigration Act, code E45, as the employment that was offered to
me includes scientific research as an integral part. But, what do I know
? My experience with US immigration has taught me that one should never
trust one's own interpretation. Can anyone knowledgeable help me with
this matter ? Thank you in advance,

Massimo Boninsegni

O.M.

Ma sei sicuro di voler lasciare il bel sole di San Diego per le nevi dell'Alberta ?
Forse non si fa ricerca a SD ? (sto scherzando ovviamente)..

Ciao

There are many exemptions under the Act that are not used enough. Best way is to
prepare a good submission and evidence and try it out.
