How to apply in multiple NOC in express entry ?

[omnishu]

Hi,

I have 4 years of work experience.
My job responsibilities math both Software engineer as well as Web developer profile.
Can someone guide me how can I submit applications for both the NOCs.
Is it valid/legal to submit 2 separate NOCs together ?

You have to closely identify your job with one NOC and submit your profile with that information.

While selecting the NOC, the duties and responsibilities mentioned in the NOC should be a close match with the actual duties and responsibilities carried out by you at the respective job. You need not match the duties and responsibilities word by word, but the idea is to have the closest match in terms of the spirit of the duties and responsibilities (at least 60%-70% match).

Also, NOC should be selected on the basis of the match of actual duties and responsibilities carried out by you rather than the designation match in the NOC list. If you are not sure of your NOC, write to noc@workingincanada.gc.ca with your job title, duties and responsibilities and educational qualification, they will help you find the closest fit.

Hi Guys, could someone please suggest on choosing the right NOC.

Over the period of time (9+ years) I've been into Data analytics, Data warehousing and Business Intelligence (BI) and my designation used to be Software Engineer, Sr. Software Engineer, Technical architect and BI Data architect (Current).

In this case what NOC should go for, 2173 (Software Engineer) or 2172 (Database analyst, this included data warehouse as one of the occupation).

Note: I have all RNR letters from my previous employers with designation mentioned above and duties and responsibilities (detailed) are all in data warehousing and business intelligence.

Here is my situation looks like,

2 Years - Software Engineer | RNR related to 2173
5 Years - Sr. Software Engineer | RNR relented to 2172
1 Year - Technical Architect | RNR relented to 2172
1 Year - BI Data Architect | RNR relented to 2172

(All my employers are very well known global tech companies)

Thanks in advance.
