Good Afternoon everyone
I'm in the pool right now, sitting at 445, CEC inland applicant, IELTS maxed out, trying to look into all my possibilities.
My problem is that my job description is...tricky... and I was wondering if I could get some feedback.
I work in the generator maintenance business. We perform maintenance to generator systems at condos, businesses (both public owned and private), universities, etc. We do all kinds of repairs, build fuel systems, quote electrical components, install new generators and so on.
I work at the office and my main title is "Estimator".
While I do a little bit of the duties listed in NOC 2234 (Estimators - Construction) as we install generators, and fuel systems, I don't know if I can qualify as a Construction estimator. Most of the time my duties are a mix between 6221 (Technical Sales Specialists) and 1241 (Administrative Assistants).
I do perform all of the duties below to bigger or lesser extent:
(From 1241)
Now for the questions -
1 - What is the safest NOC to put on my application? Reminding that I'm applying through CEC and my previous education do not really match what I do at my job (I'm quick on the uptake though).
2 - My employer likes me quite a bit and would be willing to apply for LMIA to help me raise the score/keep me, but realistically what are the chances of getting a LMIA with one of the aforementioned NOCs?
3- My PGWP expires december, my wife is completing her masters in canada right now and her course ends in May 2020, so I'm hoping I can apply for an extension for my work permit as spouse and keep working on my current job. Is that possible? If so when is the best time to apply?
Thank you for your attention!
