Confusion in NOC selection

[Asad Bashir]

Hi ! Guys. I need guidance in selecting my NOC in Express Entry profile. The thing is my EE profile has already been created and now I'm thinking of changing my NOC. But I have a confusion.

I'm an Electrical & Electronics Engineer so generally speaking my NOC should be 21310 because it's job description matches a lot (90%) with my degree. However, there is also an NOC - 21311 whose few job description points matches with mine. For Example, I have experience designing circuit boards and programming microcontrollers. Now, these 2 descriptions fall in both NOCs. But the rest of job descriptions of NOC-21311 are completely irrelevant to mine.

So, now I'm confused whether I should change my NOC from 21310 to 21311 because it seems that Ontario's PNP is looking for 21311. (Point to add: Both NOCs require Electrical/Electronics Engineer degree but 21311 also adds Computer Engineer degree.)

Kindly, can anyone guide me.

Thanks & Regards.

You want your the NOC to match at least 70% to your job responsibilities. So 21311 doesn’t seem relevant.

NOC-21311 also includes my degree major. So, does that not count ?

Your education has nothing to do with the NOC for EE or OINP. You match your job responsibilities to the NOC. Your NOC is 21310.

Ok Thanks for clearing this confusion.
