I have applied for Express Entry and have received an ITA in March 24 of 2017.
Although I am quite confident that I have selected one NOC that is a close match, I might have found one that is closest. Allow me to explain:
My position was called Sales Manager / Business Manager. I worked for a chemical industry, was responsible for the medical gases sales to hospitals, and my main duties were:
Promote sales to existing clients
Identify and solicit potential clients
Assess clients' needs and resources and recommend the appropriate goods or services
Provide input into product design where goods or services must be tailored to suit clients' needs
Develop reports and proposals as part of sales presentation to illustrate benefits from use of good or service
Estimate costs of installing and maintaining equipment or service
Prepare and administer sales contracts
Consult with clients after sale to resolve problems and to provide ongoing support
Troubleshoot technical problems related to equipment
May train customers' staff in the operation and maintenance of equipment
First, I chose 0601 - Corporate Sales Manager, which is NOC type "0". There is a title that is an exact match for my job title and the duties fit about 60%.
Then I found 6221 - Technical sales specialists - wholesale trade, which is type "B". Although example titles won't fit, the duties are about 95% close, although I am not sure I worked in the wholesale trade.
Based on this information:
1) Which one should I choose? Or is there any better option?
2) Also, can I change my NOC in my application, even if I have alredy received and ITA, considering it will not change my CRS points?
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys ...
I am a Polymer Engineer. I wanted to know is NOC 6221 appropriate in my case. Overall 6 years of sales profile experience with below different designations.
1 year ex - Marketing Executive (India)
6 months - Sr Sales Executive (India)
1.4 years - Sales Manager (Africa)
3 years - Sales Representative (UAE)
After checking the duties of the NOC 6221 it seems pretty much similar to my current job and duties. However, i am worried as it is showing as Skill level B only and not 0 or A. Will it affect my score ? Should i continue with 6221 or go with 0601 for sales manager.
Regards,
GSW
Hello , for 0601 Corporate Sales Manger , they have mentioned business development degree or education.
As I understood 0601 is mid career managerial sales position and 6221 is basic start sales position without requirement of any business degree/MBA
How others are perceiving it?

Hi,Don't go for the title, match the duties wherever the fit is higher chose that one.
Hello..!! Did you pass in your NOC code.?The responsibilities you have on your job are more important than the title you hold. My title - Key Accounts Manager - is NOC code 0601 (Corporate Sales Managers) but my responsibilities are more of a sales executive. I work for a fooring distributor. I went for 6221 as 'building material' sales is inn the NOC. I would rather go for a lower skill level than try to pass off under 0601. Trying to be safe and honest!
Yes, I am in Canada now.Hello..!! Did you pass in your NOC code.?
That's great.!! Thank you for the response.!!Yes, I am in Canada now.
I also have this query. I have done MBA Marketing, started working in job profiles similar to 6221 and now I am Regional sales manager where my current profile also matches 6221. However, I am unsure whether SINP will consider my highest degree MBA Marketing for technical sales profile. ECA done for both Engineering and MBA(highest) degree.Hello , for 0601 Corporate Sales Manger , they have mentioned business development degree or education.
