You can definitely change your NOC in the system after the ITA, but before the e-APR. I did this...just found a NOC that matches better with my job duties. I explained the change in my LOE...Hope it doesn't affect my application. Fingers crossed.
Hi Elenama,I made the same mistake – my profile had an incorrect NOC code, and later when I got an ITA and prepared my documents for submission, I quoted the correct NOC on my job letters. I then sent a CSE explaining what happened, and just last month my application for PR was approved.
I think they will recalculate your points based on your correct NOC, and if your points are still high enough to make the draw after which you got the ITA, it won’t hurt your case much. But then again, it’s just my guess, you’ll need to decide if you want to risk it or not. There have been cases of rejected applications because of an incorrect NOC.
If you are not a PNP candidate, you can change your NOC after ITA. In your case, if your spouse does not have Canadian work experience, then you won't get any points and there is no need to mention the spouse's work experience. You can move it to the Personal History section of your spouse and avoid uploading unnecessary documents.I am the primary applicant under noc 4031 and my husband under noc 1311. Just today before giving the application i realised that my husband's jd matches better with 1431.If i change the noc now...will it affect the application adversely?pls advice

hello,Hi Elenama,
I'm in exactly the same position as you described. Realised that there is a noc that fits the job spec better, but still in the same grade A. I want to send an explanation, but it's post AOR and medicals. Could you please talk me through how you did a CSE, as it obviously doesn't specifically give you an option to update such info.
Really appreciate your time and help.
