I have seen someone was saying that primary NOC should be the one which you have 1 year continuous work exp to be eligible? is that true?

or it could be any regardless of the time frame of 1 year ?

thanks

That is true for FSW, not true for CEC.

If you want to be eligible only under CEC, then yes.

Whichever you select for primary NOC, it does not mean however that you must continue working in that NOC.

This is really tricky. If it requires one year experience and the candidate has one year Canadian experience in 2 different NOCs then which one to be mentioned as primary NOC? @legalfalcon may throw light on this.

It depends on if you can prove employment for both of them. Another factor is whether you need to target specific NOC for PNP. If yes for the former and no for the latter then my guess is using the latest (current) job NOC as the primary is good enough.
