I would have two different NOC's, both of them are Type A

1. First is Web Designer and Developer - Officially, I don't know, but, practically, you don't need a degree to become a developer or programmer, no client or company has ever asked me for a degree, moreover, I did a contract job for 6 months as a remote developer for a US-based company and was not asked whether I was a graduate or not, I was paid hourly, and was selected on the basis of my interview and GitHub profile. However, all the funds were deposited to the company account. For India, I became legal to work as soon as I had become a director of my company and was issued a certificate of incorporation.

2. Optometrist - To be an optometrist one needs to have a degree in Optometry, which I obtained in 2018 in India and have been practising since 2018, in India.

Would the first one still count? I read this post https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/does-work-experience-before-graduation-adds-points.428560/
It says, as long as my work experience was not in Canada, it's fine.
For the first one, it would be NOC 2175. As far as will it count, honestly I don’t know. The VO has to be convinced thats all that matters. The NOC page clearly lists the duties and the requirements, so any information other than that may be unreliable unless confirmed by someone who has gone through the same situation. As far as I know, NOC is used to claim your primary occupation. One that you would base your application for permanent residence and use in Canada should you immigrate.

http://noc.esdc.gc.ca/English/noc/Profile.aspx?val=2&val1=2175&ver=16

Employment requirements
  • A bachelor's degree, usually in computer science, communications or business or completion of a college program in computer science, graphic arts, Web design or business is required.
  • Experience as a computer programmer or graphic designer is usually required.
The second one, it would be NOC 3121. Looks like you can count the experience once you have graduated and started working in 2018. I’d like to add a side note, not sure if optometrist is a job that requires licensing in Canada but I’d imagine so.

http://noc.esdc.gc.ca/English/noc/ProfileQuickSearch.aspx?val=3&val1=3121&ver=16&val65=Optometrist

Employment requirements

  • Three years of university undergraduate studies in sciences and a four- to five-year university program in optometry are required.
  • Licensing by the provincial or territorial regulatory governing body is required.

You still have estimated 2 more draws before your birthday, it could happen on either draws.
But scores get locked only after AOR...receiving ITA only doesn't lock ur scores... Harsh but this is what I got to know from forum only...

CIC has it documented on website that after getting ITA, if applicant's birthday falls then officer is advised to ignore the reduction of 5 pts and use the score at the time of ITA as final.

Any chances of improving IELTS score? Keep your spirits up!
I am maxed out on IELTS. Now I have two options left..

1. I redo my ECA evaluation through IQAS (because WES gave me 4 yrs bachelors and 1 yr Post graduation diploma for my Masters degree) because I have heard that IQAS gives masters credential for M.Sc. BUT it takes 4-5 months - If this happens my score will shoot up-to 451.

2. Will tell my spouse to reappear IELTS .. I might improve 3-4 points more.

Hahaha. I am not you and you are not me,dear.. Hold on to what you believe and I will hold mine!!

I don't know your situation that make you believe what you believe,so I can't comment on that but you don't know my circumstances so you don't know why the reason why I believe what I believe so I am sorry I won't take your suggestion. :):)

I'm too blessed to be stressed. I have been given life chances 2 times that if I forced myself to be where I'm not suppossed to be, I may not be here and alive right now. I will tell you why, in 2010, in my hometown in Indonesia, I was suppose to be on the bike ride with my cousin to attend my other maternal cousin's wedding reception. When we were about to leave my home, heavy rain fell all of a sudden. So,we had to delayed our journey. It kept raining for half an hour and my cousin had to leave because his band (he's guitarist) would be performing at the wedding reception so they needed him for setting up and warming up lil bit. Unfortunately, I didn't have a raincoat and had to stay behind and got a car ride from other relatives and my poor cousin didn't make it there. He had accident and died on the way to hospital. Second time I was really lucky was last October. I was suppose to be on Lion Air flight from Jakarta - Pangkal Pinang but I couldn't book the flight because for some reason, my card kept declining the transaction. I even called up my bank because I thought that they lock the international transaction again as I tried to complete the booking few time and it might trigger the unathorised international transaction attempts(I was using Australian bank card) the customer care said no, they didn't lock my card as I was still in the holiday period and as I inform them about my travel, they won't get security warning. I was frustated bcos that flight was the cheapest and there was only 2 seats left. I had to call sister but she didn't pick up my call as she was working that time. So, I desparately called my mom and asked her to book that flight for me using her card but she couldn't find the flight detail as it must be fully booked. That flight crushed and killed all passengers and crews. Had I been on the bike ride with my cousin or that flight. I wouldn't be here right now. So,yeah... I really believe everything happen for a reason and I am where I suppose to be and I don't want to rush things or force to be somewhere where I am not suppose to be at the moment. Everything will be fine in time.
I am speechless.. Your reasons are rock solid! :)

Exemption to section A11.2: candidates whose birthday occurs after they receive an ITA
An applicant may have a birthday after they receive an ITA but before they submit their e-APR. Their change in age may lower their CRS score below the lowest score in the round of invitations. It may also result in the applicant no longer meeting the minimum requirements of the FSWC and, consequently, no longer meeting the MEC, resulting in a refusal based on section A11.2.

When a change in age results in the candidate no longer meeting the MEC or having their recalculated CRS points score fall below the lowest points score in that round of invitations, officers should consider applying the public policy to exempt applicants for permanent residence from certain age-based requirements between invitation to apply and application, based on section A25.2. This consideration can result in an exemption from the refusal of an application under section A11.2.

This public policy also grants an exemption to applicants who may be refused for failing to meet FSWC program requirements when their birthday occurs between the ITA and e-APR.
