I totally agree with you Sarin_j. As I have experinced exactly the same.

But in the end, I would say that Canada is the best place to live in the world and is better than USA in many many terms.

I believe this thread can really guide me if someone knows such information. Cheer

Hi aajhbhi,

I am glad that you have one wife, just a starting Joke..

Here are your options:

Your category is under skill Level B, Occupations usually require college education or apprenticeship training.

Your scope is under, Supervisors, Mining, Oil and Gas

You may be qualified as a skilled worker applicant based on your experience and ticket.

Let me explain further,

Here in Canada, your 1st class ticket would be considered as a "power engineer" , this title has diferent classes, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st class power engineer, they are in high demand especially here in Alberta, lots of industrial plants, oil refinaries, hospitals, commercial and residential buildings hire power engineers for diferent scopes of practice, so you have high chances.

In order for your ticket to be recognized, your experience and curriculum would have to be assessed by a presuure equipments safety authority that implements the Canadian safety act, which requires you to do several exams for each class, as your job is closely related to the public safety as a pressure equipment operator or supervisor.

An example would be ABSA, Alberta Boiler Safety Association which responsible for power engineers and in-service inspectors certifications, in addition to other pressure equipments designs registrations and quality controls.

Let me know more about your experience and your educational program that led you to aquire this 1st class "Boiler Engineer" ticket and i will be happy to help you further.

Thank you very much edmotonresident for such a detailed reply. I am thankful to all other members who appreciated me for having just one wife. It means i am eligible for Canada Immigration

edmotonresident, I have passed here in Pakistan the 3rd, 2nd and 1st class boiler engineer exams and it was based on my experience, trainings and self-study. I don’t have any specific formal university education for this. But i have done BA privately with Punjab university. I also have done 3 years diploma in Mechanical Engineering after my matriculation.

aajhbhi,

This way you may be qualified in 2 disciplines, As an Engineering Technologist "Mech. Eng. Dpl."

and as a Process Operator "First Class Engineer".

These combined educational Tickets (we call these credentials as Tickets in Canada) will award you good marks under the Federal Skilled Workers category, adding your experience, will also award you considerable points. However, as you don't have any experience or any relevant scope of practice within the 38 listed jobs in the fast skilled workers category as your both credentials are in the Skill Level B — Occupations usually require college education or apprenticeship training, your application's processing time will be longer than the above category.

The only chance to speed up your application (when you apply) is to obtain a job offer from a Canadian employer and to receive positive opinion by HRSDC, this will award you more points and speed up your process.

In order to get such job offer, you may apply from there for your either credentials to be assessed by an Association of Engineering Technologists or by a Presuure equipments safety Authority in any provine destinated for your immigration or you may simply get your both Mech. Eng. Dpl and your First Class Ticket recognized by IQAS (they will compare your curriculum against the Canadian's Benchmark) and receive the educational recognition at first.

than you may submit this assessement along with your resume and other documents for the job you apply for.

Bear in mind that you cannot practice as First Class Engineer in any of the Canadian provinces as you have to write the required exams for each level starting from 4th Class Engineer (Each class has its own CSA level of knowledge).

You may be allowed to challenge those exams without having to go thru the required experience and educational stages as for the beginners, but you wil have to write 2 exams for 4th class, 4 exams for 3rd class, 6 exams for 2nd class, and 8 exams for 1st class, 20 exams to be certified as First class power/stationary/operating Engineer in canada.

Please let me know of your courses outlines "briefly" in each class in order to guide you further.

Gud Luck

After matriculation I started my Three Year Diploma of Associate Mechanical Engineer from Technology College as a Regular student and after that I got a job in a textile mills in utility services department (Compressors, BOILERS, heat recovery, heat exchangers, water treatment, Reverse osmosis plant, natural gas and F.F.O distribution etc.). During this job I further started to study Thermodynamics and on the basis of such experience I appeared in 3^rd class Boiler Engineer examinations & passed. Getting one more year experience as 3^rd class Boiler Engineer I appeared in 2^nd

Class Boiler Engineer exams and passed. Same for 1^st class Boiler Engineer after one year experience. After passing 1st class Boiler Engineer, I got a job in the oil refinery as a Shift Engineer Utility / Boiler Operations and now i have around 5 years of experience on this position. Now please tell me what is IQAS and how can i get my education recognized by them from Pakistan.
