No. Assess the duties the promoted employee will actually perform. A new title or higher salary does not establish that the professional activity remains qualifying.
Compare responsibilities rather than titles
Identify what work is added, removed or delegated. Do not retain a former description if the actual job has changed. The profession and qualification analysis must address the current role.
The degree and coursework still need to be assessed with the proposed professional activities; the listing does not support categorically excluding civil engineering technology, environmental studies or public administration solely because of the degree title. The harder question in industrial contracting is often not the credential but the duties themselves: turnaround work can blend engineering analysis with field supervision, procurement coordination, and hands-on troubleshooting that looks more like a technologist role. Describe the actual work, qualifications and period of entry requested accurately, and obtain counsel’s review of temporary intent rather than rewriting a continuing job as a fictitious fixed-term contract. The USMCA entry requires three years of hotel or restaurant management experience but does not state that those years must follow the diploma, so document the complete qualifying period rather than imposing an extra sequencing rule.
