Hi everyone! If I have had foreign work experience NOC different from Canadian Job Offer NOC, Does this foreign experience fit to Express Entry Scores and increase my score?

So this is through EE and not a PNP program? If EE, you have an approved LMIA? Your NOC for EE needs to match the job offer.

I have an open work permit. Yes, applying to EE. If I have foreign work experience NOC 72422 and have the Canadian Job offer NOC 22301 ?

If you have an open work permit and job offer for EE, you are saying no since you don’t have a LMIA. Don’t get points for a job offer.

Yes, you are right about LMIA and points. So, can I get any job TEER 0-3 (any NOC) and use my NOC 72422 foreign experience(to get additional points by foreign)? Or I must only work in Canada with my foreign NOC 72422 to get PR?

For Express Entry, your education and foreign experience don’t need to match your Canadian job experience. You will have a primary NOC.
