Change of NOC after getting ITA (NOC 2174 > NOC 2175)

[Kandy27792]

Hello Guys,

I just received an ITA in last draw.

but after getting my reference letter from Employer, i realized that my job should be in another category.

There is no CRS change after changing my NOC category from NOC 2174 (Category A) to 2175 (Category A).

Do i have to decline an Invitation? or Is there any other way to explain them i want to change my category?

Please help me guys.

CRS: 431

You can make that change, it's not a big deal. Just add a brief letter of explanation.

@jes_ON , Please am in similar but little different situation.
I have obtained Provincial Nomination earlier and had my ITA in December, 2018
In my Express Entry FSW Category, my NOC is 2243 - Industrial Instrument Technician as my Primary NOC.
However, due to occupation in demand for MPNP, my primary NOC is not available but I applied with a close alternative NOC 2241 - Electronic Electrical Technician with job responsibilities related to my primary NOC 2243. The two NOC is under Skill Category B and MPNP issued the Nomination certificate with NOC 2241
Now my query is, Post ITA, the Primary NOC on my PR application is showing NOC 2243, I want to ask if I should maintain this NOC 2243 and keep Work NOC as 2243 or Must i can change both Primary NOC and Work NOC to align with NOC 2241 on my PNP Nomination Certificate.
Please, note that the Employment Reference Letter I used for the MPNP has Job Titles as NOC 2243 with overlapping job duties as NOC 2241.
Am in a dilemma now with my eAPR application to CIC and need your urgent advice.

You posted this in Canadian Experience Class, is any of this experience Canadian? If not, suggest posting in the FSW forum for more responses.

However - generally you would choose the NOC for which you will get the most points (most years of experience) to meet the FSW eligibility criteria (67 points). https://community.movnorth.com/t/primary-noc-code-and-impact/563/10

I have not been able to find any statement from IRCC that indicates that the primary NOC for EE / PNP applications has to match the NOC under which you were nominated. This would suggest that there is no such requirement, so it does not matter. However, you should check with MPNP - each PNP program has its own requirements.

This looks a bit like cautionary tale about how manipulating the truth (e.g. NOC) at one place can create problems later... hope it works out for you tho. Not my field, so I cannot really judge how close 2241 and 2243 are to each other.
