I am an American citizen and a chemist by profession. I want to migrate to Canada. In the Self Assesment test, i got a score of 70. However looking over at this site http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp
I get very confused. It says ( I copied and pasted the relevant item below)
"1. According to the eligibility criteria, your application is eligible for processing if:
•you have an offer of arranged employment, OR
•you are a foreign national who has been living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student, OR
•you are a skilled worker who has at least one year of experience* in one or more of the occupations listed here."
When I clicked "listed here", the list does not include my occupation. Hence, when I took the test on the ELIGIBILITY TOOL,the result says I need to have an employer to qualify. My question is : should I still file an application considering I got 70 score in the self assessment but failed in the Elegibility Tool Test ?

Thank you Roy (in reply to: Sharon please help)
Thank you Roy for your immediate response.
I indeed falls on NOC code 2112. I meet the requirements on work experience. My problem is the fact that my occupation (NOC 2112) is not listed in the list I pasted in it´s entirety below (from website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp#list). Even if NOC2112 is not in this list,is my application still eligible for processing?
