The entry permits its specified experience alternative: five years as a management consultant or in a specialty related to the consulting agreement, supported as required. It is not a general five-year management rule. Canadian or Mexican citizenship and the actual qualifying professional engagement remain necessary.
Test experience and offered work separately
A person may have extensive relevant experience while receiving an offer that is ordinary operational employment. Conversely, a consulting agreement does not establish the applicant’s experience. Present both sides for assessment instead of using one as proof of the other.
Every Appendix 2 profession carries its own qualification rule, and Graphic Designer offers two: a baccalaureate, or a post-secondary diploma together with three years of experience. A multi-site assignment fails on the same grounds any assignment fails: duties that do not match a listed profession, a credential that does not meet the listing, or an employment relationship that is unclear. Compare the employer’s proposed duties with one specific USMCA profession before translating its title, then confirm that profession’s degree, licence, or experience rule against the applicant’s records. An engineer holding a Canadian bachelor's degree in civil engineering meets the qualification without any licence, provided the position itself is engineering work.
