Hi to all,
First time to post here, my official title is IT Manager (for about 8 yrs) although my tasks at work fits that of a Network Administrator which I believe is related to one of the eligible occupation, computer network technicians under NOC 2281. I'd like to know if I'll be eligible to apply? My concern is that since my designation is under managerial position, it might not suit the NOC 2281 category. Pls. advise what is my best option. If it's ok to apply, which occupation title will I use, IT Manager or Network Administrator? Appreciate all the help I can get from this forum.
