NOC Code......
2161 and 1112
I am unsure which NOC(s) I should use for my Express Entry profile as well as Permanent Residence ("PR") application.

I have the following degrees:
  • BComm in Actuarial Science
  • BComm Hons and MComm in Mathematical Statistics
  • MPhil in Mathematical Science.
My work experience is as follows:
  1. Jan 2011 - Dec 2014: I worked as a statistician at a research center at a university. During this time I performed statistical analyses on data in the field of Epidemiology (the study of the spread of diseases), and contributed to academic journals within which mathematical models were used to derive information about the spread of disease.
  2. March 2016 - Dec 2016: I worked as a consultant at KPMG where I used a combination of mathematical and statistical models (focused on probability theory) to calculate the value of financial derivative instruments. The models are calibrated using either historical share price, interest rate or foreign exchange data or data on these variables currently observed in the market.
  3. Jan 2017 - Present: I worked as a consultant at Deloitte where I used a combination of mathematical and statistical models (focused on probability theory) to calculate the value of financial derivative instruments. The models are calibrated using either historical share price, interest rate or foreign exchange data or data on these variables currently observed in the market. I also worked on an engagement where I had to calculate risk statistics

Can you kindly help me to identify the correct NOC(s) to use for my work experience above. My opinion is that the work experience listed in bullet (1) falls under NOC 2161 Do you agree?

Since my work experience in finance (see (2) and (3)) involved the application of mathematical models and probability theory to value financial derivative instruments I would like to argue that this work experience falls under NOC 2161 as well. However, I am afraid that for some reason I should choose NOC 1112 (Financial and Investment Analysts) or NOC 4162 (Economists and economic policy researchers and analysts) as these NOCS are specifically related to finance. The job duties of these NOCs however do not fit my job duties accurately.
