Critical Situation in Express Entry Application

[sycater]

Hi guys,

I would like to get your idea about this situation because I am quite puzzled.

I want to apply for permanent residence through Canadian experience class category but when I created an account for this, the system prompted me to apply for express entry at first. I would like to state my case down here and hopefully get an answer.

1)Have MEng degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Carleton University (Ottawa, ON)
2)Have been working in a company (Aluminum fabrication company, we build mobile storages and I design them with a CAD software full time 40 hours a week) since August 2016 and my title at the company is "Mechanical Designer" (In Canada/Ontario)

I am not sure which is my NOC.

2132 - Mechanical Engineers
or
2253 - Drafting Technologists and Technicians

The position is advertised at times by the company as "Mechanical Designer" or "Mechanical Design Draftsperson".

Additionally, I am so puzzled about Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Do I need to contact my employer to get one?

Thanks for your answers.

No, you don't need LMIA to apply for PR via Express Entry.

Regarding your other question, choose the NOC that better fits your duties and responsibilities.

If the temporary worker you want to hire is not from a visa-exempt country or is already in Canada, the processing officer reviewing their work permit application will determine if an LMIA exemption applies to their situation.

The International Mobility Worker Unit (IMWU) helps employers determine if the temporary worker they want to hire is exempt from the LMIA process or exempt from a work permit.

It does not seem clear to me. I am clicking links but got no idea how to contact IMWU. Anyone has any idea?
