Hello Guys,

I have the same issue. I worked as Assistant Lecturer for 20 months in a college 2.5 years ago and after that I came to Canada for my Master's degree. Now I'm planning to apply for PR through FSW.

While applying for study permit I filled work history section as "Assistant Lecturer". But now, although my main duties listed on the work experience letter meets NOC 4021 but the title as "Assistant Lecturer" is not listed on example titles on CIC website. As I have previously submitted all my information to CIC at the time when I applied for my study permit 2.5 years before So I think it's not appropriate to manipulate my work experience title. So guys can you please provide me some suggestions on this matter? So is it okay if I go for NOC 4021 ?

Hi there,
Could you please update what you submitted as NOC on your application?
I joined as lecturer and promoted to HoD with all duties matching 4011. I only had B.Tech then. Later I did my Masters in engg. and in another 4161 NOC (1 year exact on date of appl). so kept 4011 as primary. Thought?

Hello, I have not submitted my application yet. My main problem is I worked in Vocational and Technical college not in University. I am confused as NOC 4011 is mainly targetted for University's professor how ever my duties get matched in for both NOC 4021 and NOC 4011. So can you please kindly suggest me, which NOC should I pick up ?

Think for vocational training college you should go for 4021. Overselling is an issue, however both come under NOC A type. If you are feeling less confident then you can write in an LoE.

In my case, I worked at a private university and got the duties signed by my former colleague. Substantiated with all employment letters and payslips.

Hello,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I have one more question to ask. I came to Canada in study permit. Now I am planning to apply for Express entry under FSW.

While filling my work history at the time when I applied for study permit (2 years ago) I just filled my 3 previous job as space on the form was limited to that (3 rows). Now I came to know that I can claim points for the fourth job which I didn't mentioned at that time. So I am dilemma whether I can get points or not. Because except 1 job that I mentioned at that time , other 2 job were done for below 1 yr of time period so I can't get points for those 2 job but if I add my fourth job I can get points for work experience of 3 years. However I clearly mentioned about fourth job on resume that I send to high commission while applying for study Visa but didn't mentioned on form provided by CIC due to lack of space.

Your objective 2yrs back was different. What you furnish now matter for the points you claim. If you didn't mention your 4th employment then you must have mentioned unemployment and the location in your personal history. Anyways your 4th employment matches with the same.location which you will substantiate proofs for.

You should go ahead with the exp and claim points for that provided all falls under NOC A,B or 0, you get proofs, they are all full time, not coinciding with your education.

I did my fourth job as a part time employee in a health and research organization. I was a undergrad student at the same time.

Don't claim. This will lead to rejection.

I have 2 years of experience as assistant professor in a university
And almost 3 years of experience as an assistant professor at a college affiliated to university.
My duties, either at university or at a college, are matching with 4021 NOC.
So, my NOC code is still 4021?

Hi Santu,
Go with NOC4011 if you have the title asst prof and have done teaching duties in university or college affiliated to university. NOC4021 is for vocational training instructor, mostly ITI/ diploma/ trade ans skill training instructors.
Personally, I joined as a lecturer (1yr in teaching) in a deemed university and later got promoted to Head of department (1yr in management and continued teaching). The experience letter showed HoD title only and was accepted by the immigration officers. I submitted under NOC 4011.

mine was PR through express entry. I'm no longer working in education industry. I always wanted to get into active engineering industry. Landing a good opportunity takes time. I had to job hop through 4 jobs to land a decent job in the last 10months in canada. Anyways teaching position is different here compared to in India (where i come from). I have a PG in engineering, but there are certain skills and culture to learn about canada which takes time and cant be inherently instantly applied on arrival.
