Dear friends,

I am applying for Nova Scotia PNP and there is a section called Evidence of work experience matching NOC 2016. Can you explain what it means?

I have reference letters from my employers indicating job duties and they match NOC 2016 description approximately 70-80%. However, I am confused about NOC evidence section because the previous section already states about Letters of reference from employers and supporting documents.

I think you are confused between an actual NOC code and the version (the year the NOC codes were reviewed). The 2016 is the year the NOC codes were reviewed and not a NOC under which you can apply for PNP/EE. There were revisions in 2006 and 2011 as well. Hope this clarification makes sense. What is your profession?

Hi mendiebraxton, Thank you for the clarification. My profession is an accountant. The actual progression was like this accounting assistant ==> cost accountant ==> accounting specialist. I am claiming for a NOC code 1111

Great! Now that we have clarification, my first response still stands. Review the duties for NOC 1111and see whether you have similar duties in your reference letter.

I reviewed the duties as per NOC description and NOC description actually states the following.

  • Examine and analyze journal and ledger entries, bank statements, inventories, expenditures, tax returns and other accounting and financial records, documents and systems of individuals, departments within organizations, businesses or other establishments to ensure financial recording accuracy and compliance with established accounting standards, procedures and internal controls
  • Prepare detailed reports on audit findings and make recommendations to improve individual or establishment's accounting and management practices
  • Conduct field audits of businesses to ensure compliance with provisions of the Income Tax Act, Canadian Business Corporations Act or other statutory requirements
  • May supervise other auditors or professionals in charge of accounting within client's establishment.
