It's really hard for us to choose your NOCs.

Go over the noc code duties (ignore the education requirements) and carefully check each duty and try and match it to this list.

Thank you, Kryt0n.
I think my duties will match most descriptions from the list, but that is depends on my personal understanding and acknowledgement, then I will probably understand what they are talking about. But for a CIC immigration officer who is not an expert in this file of study, how come he or she can give a final decision that my duties will mach the list or not?

Is there a standard rule for CIC Officer to identify NOC codes?

=======================================================

As a reference, here is the duties on the NOC website for code 7231:

Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, charts and tables or study sample parts to determine machining operation to be performed, and plan best sequence of operations

Fit and assemble machined metal parts and subassemblies using hand and power tools
Verify dimensions of products for accuracy and conformance to specifications using precision measuring instruments
May set up and program machine tools for use by machining tool operators.
Machining and tooling inspectors perform some or all of the following duties:

Verify dimensions of machined parts or tooling using micrometers, verniers, callipers, height gauges, optical comparators, co-ordinate measuring machines (CMM) or other specialized measuring instruments

OK, best thing I can suggest is grab each item on your letter from your boss and try and match it to one of the points below. IGNORE education requirements.

Do I need to cover 90% or 50%? Any percentage they are expecting to see from my employment letter?
Because not all the jobs will match all of those description from NOC website.
