Unfortunately no, it does not count. I have 10 years of engineering experience, part of it working for a fortune 10 company dealing with state of the art technologies but my experience in the field does not count towards the Canadian immigration program because I do not have lawful status.



It is quite tragic...


I have been considering Canada for a while but the truth is that there is no easy way into Canada for us.


I am not saying it is impossible, but the risk of failure is high with no guarantees of a temporary stay. For some of us it might be worth to try.


I just want you guys to be realistic with this option.
