hello friends,
I am from India. after my +2(humanities) i have passed a one year private diploma in welding in 2003, then passed a N.C.V.T (Govt.) certificate in draftsman mechanical from Govt. I.T.I (2003-2005), then a Govt. diploma in electrical engineering from a Govt polytechnic(2006-2009). Now i am working as an electrician and have 15 months of experience. I also have two years of full time and two and half years of part time experience as a welder.Will both these experience (electrician & welder) count for federal skilled worker application. I like to apply under the category of electrician and both these job title are in the NOC list. Is the experience earned after a private diploma eligible for applying. I also have plan to go a Gulf country first then apply for P.R to Canada. In that case when i have to sent my pass port to the Canadian embassy and when will they sent it back to me.

Please give me a clarification. Thanks in advance to all the members of Canadian desi.
