hey guys any idea of what will happen If I change my NOC from 2173 to 2171. since 2173 is regulated in Ontario and I cant do the license right now.
my job responsibilities are quite matching to 2171. plus my previous work expereince is also in 2171.

please help if Ontario will cancel my PT or didnt take notice of that.

I think you can change your NOC after receiving your invitation and before submitting your application but not after that.

PT received from OOPNP is NOC agnostic - the only thing you need to remember is to choose another NOC 0/A/B and also conclusively prove that you are qualified and experienced in the revised NOC to convince OOPNP and CIC.

NOC 0, A, or B, right?

Are you sure?? I guess no one is sure about anything, but lets be a bit conservative with our suggestions.

Case in point - Certain NOC codes have not received PT's. For instance, there are a bunch of guys in this forum with NOC 2174 awaiting PTs (even with Canadian work experience). Hence editing the NOC after receiving PT can have consequences ...I see many folks trying to edit 2173 to 2174....I think its better to check with CIC..

But the nomination has nothing to do with NOC..they are emphasizing to keep score above 400...

Of course I'm not sure! Else I would've also pasted the link from OOPNP site which confirms this understanding.

This is just a hypothesis based on the fact that there is nothing mentioned on the OOPNP site or the guide about PTs being NOC specific. Regulated professions is an entirely different area altogether. And some NOCs not receiving a PT is also a hypothesis because OOPNP is silent on this front so far.

It's a bit like CIC - One is allowed to change one's NOC till one receives an ITA (and I'm guessing even after that though I did not try this) and it will be a successful strategy provided one has relevant evidence to back it up and if CIC (or MCIIT in the case of OOPNP) buy that evidence. Period.

Remember that EE was designed to be largely NOC-agnostic and all provinces will take that guidance from CIC.

Having said all that, I'm not advocating any particular course of action. This is just how I interpret the information available in public domain.

Can there be some problem if there is a difference in NOCs in EE and Jobbank. I did not find NOC 0601 Corporate Sales Manager in Jobbank, so I chose Sales&Marketing Manager, which was the closest NOC 0124.

Can it influence my OOPNP application?

My take on this. PT is synonymous to ITA in some sense. Editing the profile after receiving PT/ITA could have ramifications...hence needs to be dealt with caution. If someone is willing to try and report back, be my guest

Hi Sumairak,

I have entered my NOC based on my job title rather than my job Description. Now I received an OINP and am confused if I should change my NOC before applying or should I withdraw my application and resubmit?
