CEC NOC 1311

[positiveenergylittlesun]

Hello everyone!!

Please please help me check my duties under NOC 1311 and give me some advice. My title (accounting clerk) doesn't seem to match the code since there is no such position as bookkeeper or accounting technician in our HR system. And manager says he can add a paragraph in the reference letter explaining the title issue. Is it acceptable?

The essential requirements for this specific position are as below:
▪ Level 2 Certified General Accountant (CGA) or higher
▪ PC literacy and experience in excel and ACCPAC accounting software
▪ Experience in handling full set of books

The detailed job duties are as below:
▪ Keep financial records for 11 stores and maintain accounts using manual and computerized bookkeeping system (ACCPAC).
▪ Prepare journal entries, accruals and monthly financial statements.
▪ Perform bank reconciliations monthly for 8 states totaling 36 stores.
▪ Prepare US Sales Tax returns and Quarterly State Unemployment Tax return.
▪ Prepare fixed asset schedule for new/renovation stores.
▪ Calculate and prepare payroll cheques.
▪ Process store payments and prepare cheques for various bills.
▪ Process employee expense claims (petty cash), verify expenses are within company guidelines, question abnormal expense and correct errors.
▪ Perform other accounting related duties as required.

Thank you so much in advance!!!

I'd say your duties are in line with NOC 1311. But no one here can give you any guarantees about what CIC will think...

Well, yes, esp. since about half of your items are nearly identical to the NOC... Just FYI, CIC/IRCC takes a dim view of copy-and-paste job descriptions, you should make sure the the duties/responsibilities are in your own words (or really, your employer's own words) .
