Hi Everyone,

So I have recently got ITA under FSW category. I am currently working in Canada on PGWP and hence didnt claim a valid job offer in Canada (that would've required LMIA right?). I have two years prior work experience in India. But this is where it gets confusing for me. I was employed as "Business and Systems Integration Analyst" at a career level 11 or "Software Engineer". But I worked with Threat and Vulnerability Management group (ethical hacking/cyber security work) and my work most closely resembles that of "NOC 2171 Systems security analysts" as per the cic's description of the NOC 2171 jobs below:
  • Information systems business analysts and consultants confer with clients to identify and document requirements, conduct business and technical studies, design, develop, integrate and implement information systems business solutions, and provide advice on information systems strategy, policy, management, security and service delivery.

  • Systems security analysts confer with clients to identify and document requirements, assess physical and technical security risks to data, software and hardware, and develop policies, procedures and contingency plans to minimize the effects of security breaches.

  • Information systems quality assurance analysts develop and implement policies and procedures throughout the software development life cycle to maximize the efficiency, effectiveness and overall quality of software products and information systems.

  • Systems auditors conduct independent third-party reviews to assess quality assurance practices, software products and information systems.

    My Job experience letter would contain following duties:
    • Work with clients to identify and document requirements
    • Assess security risks to web applications including physical threats ( identity verification and access to data centers) and cyber threats to data (Personally identifiable information, login details, credit/debit card details)
    • Develop road-map for cyber threat avoidance, detection and threat containment post security breach/incident.
    • Conduct code reviews, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify issues with web applications and consolidate report categorizing the vulnerabilities/threats discovered.

    1. My question is that my job title on EE profile is "Business and Systems Integration Analyst" which sound very similar to "Information systems business analysts" but my job duties exactly match that of "System security analysts". I am really scared that the officer would reject me if this doesn't makes sense to him. Any advice on this? What can I do to address this ?

    2. Also, I am confused by the description of the duties on the cic website, there are very few points per role. Can a job description span multiple roles within same NOC?

    Finally, can you please comment if you find the points I have included indeed cover all duties expected of a "Systems security analysts" mentioned above?

    Thanks!

My spouse has previous work experience outside Canada, do I still need a job experience letter for her even though I don't get points for it? In that case can I just remove her work history?

You need to mention work in personal history anyhow, but evidence is not required.

Current Processing:
*Recent ITA rounds were not too regular and manageable for CIC, therefore, it seems like they have gained control over the processing times and are on track to return to 6 months processing targets for larger part of applicants.


PPRs by Visa Office:
*NDVO has done a great job this months so far. A lot of PPRs were issued by NDVO.
