Yes please reply, i have the same query.

Is it necessary to match the title of degree with the profession? I read on some pages that it should be the same. I have a degree in Software Engineering and I want profession of computer programmer, So will be there any issue?

I do not think that it is an issue because universities in each country have the different title for the degree. In fact, No certificate would entitle a scholar with "Computer Programmer". In my case(India), I hold a degree which says "Bachelor Of Engineering In Computer Science and Technology". My batchmates with the same certificate have been working in IT/non-IT companies with different professions in IT fraternity.

I think to get C.Programmer profession the applicant should get his/her certificate to be attested from their motherland.

Exactly!
