Change your NOC to accurately reflect the duties listed in your reference letter. It doesn't matter if the NOC you selected pre and post ITA are different as long as it still falls under A, B and O. I also changed my NOC and have had no issues till date.

@sk1976: Is it sure that you can change your NOC...I have a dilemma regarding two closely related NOC 4021 and 4011 as one relates to University Professor and other College and vocational instructure.
Regards

I didn't change my noc as my noc was already approved by oinp...i was advised not to change as it leads to rejection if noc on nomination letter and express entry differs...but yes direct express entry candidates can change noc post ITA as long as you provide LOE and it shouldn't impact your scores.Shall suggest to take an expert opinion on this.Good luck.

Hello,

I have got the ITA and I am preparing the reference letters. I have some confusion related to the NOC.

I created the EE profile and got acceptance for the NOC 2141 but according to my current position I belong to NOC 1122.

The thing is, I am a business analyst / consultant (NOC1122) for the manufacturing sector and have a Bachelor and Master degree in manufacturing (NOC2141). My consulting caters majorly to manufacturing industry. As a consultant I carry out activities more related to NOC2141, however my job description and title is NOC1122.

Please let me know how I can handle this. Kindly support

Thank you so much.

Eagerly looking forward to a response.

Thanks
Naveen

Hi everyone.

Recently I got an ITA under the Federal Skilled Worker program (FSW) My CRS is 465. My NOC code was 2133 (electronics engineer) since I'm an ASIC's verification engineer... After an exhausting battle against the human resources section of my company, I managed to get a reference letter, it states that my duties were ASICs verification and other correct stuff, but the position states that I'm a "software engineer".

They told me they could only provide "generic reference letters" so they cannot change the position name even if they acknowledge that I was doing electronics engineering tasks... The lady there told me that they could notify that to CIC, that I was providing services related to electronics engineering if they get contacted, but they would NOT change the position name... (Weird isn't it?)

By the way, I have 4 years of experience, this is my first job and only position...

Since both NOC numbers are type A:

-Should I change my info from: 2133 (electronics engineer) to 2173 (Software engineer)?. As far I know, my score would be the same... I think I would have a heart attack if my application gets refused because of that.

-Should I reject the ITA and wait longer?.

-Should I keep everything and don't change anything and include a Letter Of Explanation? The lady from human resources told me that she could provide more information to CIC if she gets contacted, she even said so in the reference letter. As a note the reference letter is directed to CIC.

-Any other suggestions? Calling CIC for example?

Thanks in advance guys.

Hi,
You changed the NOC Post ITA, did you get your PPR and had you explained this change in your LOE?

Changing NOC will reflect bad image on them..So better first check what your NOC is or it may reject your file.

Hi, can someone help me please. I'm close to the end of my 90-day waiting period and my status has changed to Awaiting Information. I was asked to provide more documentation related to NOC. I realise there is another NOC that better suits my work experience. Can I wrote to the Govt of Ontario and explain my situation or just leave things as they are and hope there isn't a mismatch with my NOC and profile?

Hi. Did you have any issues or you got the pr after changing your noc post ITA?

Hi. I got the ITA but the noc in my nomination certificate i different from that of my ee profile. Is it ok to change the noc to match that of my ee profile? Or it’s too risky? Any suggestions?

Hi SK.. according to you, your JOb responsibilities were not matching OINP NOC but they went ahead and accepted it. Is my understanding correct?
