I have been a software engineer for 6 years, and now I am a software technical support engineer. Is there a chance to immigrate to Australia or Canada?

The so-called job shortage does not depend on whether the name of the job you are doing now is in the job shortage in Australia.

It depends on whether you meet the occupational assessment in Australia's scarce occupations. Names don't matter. Chinese and foreign names are different.

It depends on your professional evaluation and relevant work experience.

Software engineer is a job in short supply in Australia, but it doesn't mean that you can satisfy the professional evaluation of software engineers by working in software engineering. Through a comprehensive evaluation of your education and work experience.

Informal experience has no effect on skilled immigrants, and tax records are required to add points to work experience.

It is difficult for Canada to have at least one year's work experience in Canada.

So what you need to do now is to make a career evaluation with ACS in Australia to see if you can meet the requirements of Australian software engineers.

If the career assessment passes, then the next step is to score according to your age, education, work experience, English level and so on.
