I would appreciate your help with the two questions I have :
1) I would like to know how long does the entire procedure for immigration in the Federal Skilled Worker Class take i.e. from filing in my family application for immigration to Canada to my departure from India.
2) My husband who is the main applicant has 29 years of work experience in Sales and Marketing (Pharmaceutical Industry). I would like to to know if it is necessary for him to have minimum one year experience in the list of occupations for the Federal Skilled Worker Class prescribed by the Immigration authorities to qualify as well.
My husband is qualifying with 75 points for Family Immigration to Canada in the Federal Skilled Worker Class. However, I am worried if we will be rejected if we do not show minimum one year of occupational service in the prescribed list of occupations even though he holds 29 years of Sales & Marketing experience in the pharmaceutical industry in India.
Please advise me how to go about filing of our papers in the above mentioned situation.
Thanking you for all your help!!

1) new rules established this year are claiming you will have a yes/no answer within a year of applying.
2) yes
read the expanded versions of all the applicable NOC codes to insure your documentation creates the closest match possible to the NOC code that you choose.

we don´t need sales people in Canada, we need Doctors, Engineers etc as prescribed by the minister. there are some many indians in Ontario with sales experience and over 29 years working but are driving cabs and cleaning the floor. it is better for your husband to keep his diginity in new delhi and work as a sales and marketing officer/manager before you know it he will be the MD.
Moreover, your husband with 29 years working + 25 years before he started work you guys are already old for the difficult life in Canada. it is not easy as you guys think. can your spouse return to school to upgrade himself. think very well before you leap.

Adible - Mr. Negative Advisor (in reply to: Sharon/Roy/Bill - pls can you advise me .........)
Your expert comments make it sound that you are leading a terrible life in Canada. If it seems that bad, what are you doing in Canada ? Why not move to New Delhi and find yourself a good job and maybe you would have re-defined DIGNITY.
The whole country dosen´t just revolve around doctors and engineers. A balanced and developed country like Canada needs the right mix of every profession and if you are competent and hardworking, you will never be without a job. There is no shame in doing any work as long as you take pride in doing it. If you fit the category of Sales/Tech then that is what you would like to do but at the same time you are not limited to that profession. Similarly if you are a Janitor then that is your profession. There is no harm in driving a cab if that is what you have to do for a living.
I am an Indian and have lived in Bollywood for 29 years before moving to the U.S. and I know there is no comparison between Canada & India or the US & India. I say this with due respect to that country but that doesn´t mean you fool yourself into thinking it is better off in India. The system is corrupt, the country is over populated, there is tremendous pollution, people travel like cattle, the police and government officials are thiefs and work only on bribes and the list can go on. Anyone who has lived there knows it and this is not crap I am making up. Live there for 3 months and you will know.
Now on the positive side, I must say that the education in India is great, the various Indian cusines is super, the family values are amazing and kids are a hundred times more disciplined out there.
It is never too late to educate oneself and when you have skills, experience and aim in life, you will achieve your goals.
Now one last thing, I have never understood this and would be glad if any of you disgruntled immigrants can clarify this to me. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS THAT IMMIGRANTS ALWAYS SEEM TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SITUATION THEY ARE HAVING WHEREVER THEY ARE - the US / CANADA / UK / AUSTRALIA / NEW ZEALAND OR ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY. IF ONE SEEM SO FRUSTRATED WITH HIS/HER SITUATION, WHAT ARE YOU HANGING AROUND IN THAT FOREIGN COUNTRY FOR ? WHY NOT LEAVE AND GO BACK TO YOUR NATIVE COUNTRY WHERE YOU BELEIVE YOU WOULD HAVE MORE DIGNITY ? I HAVE MET PLENTY IMMIGRANTS FROM INDIA, PAKISTAN, BANGLADESH, SRI LANKA, NEPAL AND EVEN THOUGH MANY OF THEY SEEM DISGUSTED WITH THEIR FOREIGN ENVIRONMENT, I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE VOLUNTARILY GO BACK TO HIS/HER COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.
Good Luck to you ADIBLE and hope you don´t try to disuade people in future.

ADILBLE - ONE MORE THING (in reply to: Sharon/Roy/Bill - pls can you advise me .........)
I left out one thing. CANADA is not forcing anyone to be there neither are they sending you a personal invitation to come over. If you have lived there over 3 years then that is your country. Be thankful that they are even letting you immigrate to their country to start a new life. India doesn´t even let you migrate to it (not that anyone would like to). There is a huge difference between first world and third world countries and thank god for being on the better side.
