NOC Code......
8232 / 2145
Pre-Assessed..
Yes
Hi guys,

I am a field engineer working as MWD / LWD offshore and onshore. I am confused which NOC code I should select in my application. Looking through the forum I found that some suggest using 8232, whereas some others suggest 2145.

It would be great if someone with same job title who already got his PPR share his experience on this subject.
If you know any information regarding this subject, or anyone who already passed the whole process, please share.

Thank you.

@legalfalcon as one of the most senior guys here on the forum, maybe you know someone who had same job positions and got their PR, or someone who could be a help on this matter.

Thank you.

What others have selected is irrelevant. The NOC will depend on your individual circumstances. IRCC clearly states that the job duties listed in your work reference letter should substantially match those of the NOC code selected.

So if your job duties listed in your work ref substantially match those of 8232, select that or if it matches that of 2145, select that.
