Q. If I (British citizen) have 8 years cooking experience in England but no formal qualifications because I learned on the job, can I still immigrate to Canada as an independent immigrant under the occupation of cook?

Answer: In the event that you underwent sufficient training on the job, you may satisfy the SVP requirements for that position. "Sufficient training" would depend on the exact intended occupation chosen.
