roger1726,

I cant speak to the NOC description. However, I sent my inquiry to noc-cnp@workingincanada.gc.ca (HRSDC). Still waiting for a response. Through discussions, others have noted the reply process taking around 2 weeks.

watchpu5hp,

I am working on temporary foreign work permit and my emp has applied for LMO with the same duties list above and they have used NOC 2173.

The problem is my employer has not covered all the duties mentioned for NOC 2173 on HRSDC site while filing LMO.Please suggest what need to be done. My ref letter should include all the duties listed on LMO OR it incluse all the duties listed for NOC 2173 on HRSDC site?

Sounds good. I dont think we'll be getting anything back before mid January, but I'll keep you posted on mine. Should give you an idea, since we're only days apart.
