Related work Experience HELP

[KIKI]

Hi All

Went to Edinburgh Emigrates Expo yesterday and came away all migrated out. Can anyone clarify...

Once the TRA is approved (fingers crossed not even submitted yet) and you gather your works experience for the Visa does the work experience have to be related. Hence Plumbing and Panel Beater. OH has 2 out 4 years as Panel Beater and 1 out of 4 as Plumber. ( 9years plumbing exp many moons ago and 7 years in total as panel beater)

The agents at Expo told numerous things. Has anyone had personal experience of something similar.

Thanks in advance

I am sure that for the visa, any of them as far as I am aware, you need RECENT work experience

this is why, although I got passed by TRA on my hairdressing qualifications and experience, I need to pass for my current job in childcare as this is what I have worked in for the last 20 years. the last proof I have that I have worked 'officially' as a hairdresser is about 10yrs old, I have kept up with friends and family but no 'proof' that would be of any use.
