Can a visa officer assess experience relevant to the employment intended to be pursued in Canada?

The applicant submits the visa officer in conducting the assessment of the applicant's experience failed to ascertain and take into account those duties he performed in his occupation which overlapped with the duties in his intended occupation. In particular the applicant points to his supervisory skills which he maintains are transferrable. The applicant relies on the decision in Pinto v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), [1991] F.C.J. 619 where McKay J. stated: In his decision, the Associate Chief Justice cited his prior decision, Hajariwala v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration) et al. (1988) 6 Imm. L.R. (2d) 222, which established that a visa officer is required to assess experience relevant to the employment intended to be pursued in Canada. Although these cases concern applications for permanent residence, it is my view that section 20 similarly attracts the principle, stated in Hajariwala at 230, that "[t]here is no reason why the actual experience and time spent in each of the various responsibilities in an occupation cannot be broken down to award units of assessment for experience in intended occupations".
