Good question. Please note that I did not give advice, I just shared my understanding of the wording. I would, however, reckon it to be similar in your situation as "relevant" does not imply any specific order of events. Caveat here is, however, whether SINP would recognize points for an ineligible noc even if it is not the noc you chose as primary noc. I honestly don't know. Strictly speaking, if strictly go by the wording it should be recognized because the only thing they say is that you can't choose an ineligible noc as your primary noc. My rational for saying that I reckon it should be recognized is because SINP chooses eligible nocs as a function of their labor shortage. I don't see a reason why they won't give points for a noc that is on their ineligible list that, however, is a) relevant to your main noc that is elegible and b) a noc that helped you learn to perform the functions of the noc that you use as primary noc. Hope that helps.
But great question because it is a topic that is hardly clarified by SINP on its website, so the more people ask the more this question may get visibility and hopefully someone with similar experience, who already underwent the same process can chime in. If you hear anything regarding your issues would you please share it here as I am also very interested in this topic, regarding using multiple nocs that are relevant to the primary noc and whether points can be claimed for all those relevant nocs.

Good answer, but what if the situation is the other way around.
For example, someone files for NOC 6221 (technical sales specialist), but has 10 years experience with NOC 0601 (corporate sales manager)?
The reason I ask because my situation is as described, I applied under NOC 4211 (Legal Assistants), but have experience in NOC 4112 (Lawyers). I did that since NOC 4112 is excluded from the list of illegible NOCs.
