I am filling the questionnaire online and this is confusing.

It asks me:


Do you plan to work in one of the following categories?
  • Athletes and coaches
  • Aviation accident or incident investigators
  • Business visitors
  • Civil aviation inspectors
  • Clergy
  • Convention organizers
  • Crew members
  • Emergency service providers
  • Examiners and evaluators
  • Expert witnesses or investigators
  • Family members of foreign representatives
  • Foreign government officers
  • Foreign representatives
  • Health-care students
  • Highly-skilled workers and researchers (Global Skills Strategy)
  • Judges, referees and similar officials
  • Military personnel
  • News reporters, film and media crews
  • Performing artists
  • Public speakers
My work is under NOC Code 5241 or 5223

I believe (not sure though) i fall under the category of Highly-skilled workers and researchers (Global Skills Strategy)
But i am not sure.. when I click the (Global Skills Strategy) it says:

Eligibility for high-skilled workers
• your job needs to be under the NOC skill type 0 (managerial) or A (professional)
• you can work for
o up to 15 consecutive days every six months or
o 16-30 consecutive days once every year

What should I pick?

Thank you in advance!

I've found the answer to my own question if anyone is interested.

After playing with the different choices, picking yes is leading to the international mobility program instead of the foreign worker program. So picking NO is the right choice for me at least.
Note: It still asks you if your LMIA is issued under the GTS - so I should be able to expect 2 weeks processing time.
