Can I apply for two job codes

[utkarshrai]

HI,
I have 2 queries regarding NOC codes and their sub skill set for applying under Express Entry or PNP

1. I have experience under NOC code A - 2173 and 2171 both. Can I select both(2171 and 2173) and show combined total job experience while making Express entry profile? . The reason why I am asking is that I have close to 15 years experience in 2173 and couple of months experience in 2171.

2. If applying under both NOC code is not applicable, then can i change the code after submitting express entry profile under 1 code, lets say i select 2173 when making express entry profile and then after some days change it to 2171?.

I would say stick to code 2173 since you have more than 15 years experience in it, choose it as your primary NOC and even when listing your experience only list those jobs related to that NOC.

The rational for this is that you will only get points for up to 3 years in the last 10 years, so adding everything you did in your career won't make a difference to you, in fact it will burden on you after you receive an ITA to provide proper documentation for everything you claimed under work experience section of your EE profile.
