CEC - NOC Code help required.

[visit]

Hello Jes_ON,

Thank you so much for your response.

I do have couple more questions regarding NOC and employment letter.

1) I am here on a work permit, Last time when my employer extended my work permit by applying LMO. There is NOC code 2171 used in LMO document. The LMO was approved and my work permit got extended. I am planning to use the same NOC Code ( since that's my defined job) for PR. --- Any other inputs on this?

2) As per the NOC guide for code 2171 :Under employment requirement:

A bachelor's degree in computer science, computer systems engineering, software engineering, business administration or a related discipline
or
Completion of a college program in computer science is usually required.

But, my under grad and post grad both are not computer science. I was recruited by and Indian IT company ( On campus ) and trained. And I have totally 14 years of IT experience. Not sure whether this will be a problem. As far as I know there are many people changed their profession after graduating ....( no link between degree and job)

3) Also, I notice the Job titles listed in the NOC Guide for all NOC codes. Do we need to have the exact title in our employment letter?

4) For LMO process, I did receive a employment reference letter outlining my duties from employer. But, those lines are not very descriptive ( as given in the NOC guide) , they are very short and sweet...as listed below...Will this be enough for PR? or Do we need more descriptive on duties listed? Please confirm this for me.

• Monitoring and reporting the project progress

Thanks so much for taking time and responding to my queries. I really appreciate that. Thx, XXXX

Yes, it's a good thing if the NOC on your work permit and in your application match

2) As per the NOC guide for code 2171 :Under employment requirement:

Those "requirements" are not relevant, CIC *generally* only uses the job duties to assess fit with an NOC. (There are exceptions, such as for regulated occupations - physicians, nurses, protected job titles...)

But, my under grad and post grad both are not computer science.

Does not matter.

3) Also, I notice the Job titles listed in the NOC Guide for all NOC codes. Do we need to have the exact title in our employment letter?

The job title in your employment letter is the one your employer gives you. It is what your employer says it is, period. There does not have to be an exact match with the example job titles listed by HRSDC with the NOC.


4) For LMO process, I did receive a employment reference letter outlining my duties from employer. But, those lines are not very descriptive ( as given in the NOC guide) , they are very short and sweet...as listed below...Will this be enough for PR? or Do we need more descriptive on duties listed?

I think that may be a bit too parsimonious, although if those are the MAIN duties, it does technically meet the requirements. If you have a job contract or written job description you can attach, that may suffice. Or if you can encourage your employer to elaborate a little bit, it wouldn't hurt. Make sure the letter includes all the other required information...
