I'm not familiar with Mechanical Engg, but I think you cannot change the primary NOC that you are applying under. You can however send multiple applications under different NOCs, according to this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=864&t=6 I however don't know if you can give two different reference letters for the same job.

They are bureaucrats. They don't care why you are doing a certain thing (and you are not obliged to provide any explanation.). They just apply the rules.

So, pull up the NOC related to Mechanical engineering technologies on the Canadian website. Next, see if you fullfil the requirements i.e. you have the education and your job duties match the duties for the NOC at least 80%. If you can document these two aspects you can send another application under Mechanical engineering technologies

Thanks again for your help... Really appreciate
It means I can apply in mechanical engineering technologies there is no restriction for maximum education in this field ... But there is a restriction of minimum education in this field... Like 2 years diploma or certification ? They can give me point according to my master degree and points for my work experience related to my mechanical engineering technologies.. Am I right?

Just the rules again. You get points for education according to whatever your ECA says (not what you or your degree says). It does not depend on what you studied, only the level i.e. masters, bachelors etc.

On the other hand when they evaluate your NOC/Work experience, they would pull up the NOC and see if you have the education. Next, they would look at your duties if they match the NOC. If yes, you get points for the work experience.

You are correct, there is a restriction on minimum education, not maximum education. However, be very careful in drafting your work experience letter. Your duties should match 80%. However don't copy these verbatim.

Please remember that applying under a different NOC than the one you have already applied for means, ordering a new original copy of IELTS result, a new original ECA report, and a new original PCC.

In other words, a COMPLETELY new application along with application fee.

Actually, if you have already submitted the IELTS original in one app, you can ask them to reference it for the subsequent applications. The ECA and PCCs would need to be original though.

Do you need the points for Adaptability?? If no, then don't sweat it.

If yes, I'm sorry I don't have experience on this matter. For most part the CIC is reasonable though. The SSC school certificate would certainly help. If it is not too difficult, I am wondering if your uncle (i.e. the Canadian citizen) can provide a notarized letter where he states that he is a citizen and explains that he is a real brother of your mother. I think that since he is a Canadian citizen this would carry weight. Get this letter notarized though.
