Immigration Officer refused my application quoting a wrong NOC code. Now ?

[abdur]

Hello there,
I applied for Canadian immigration about 10 months back and his application has refused last week. Immigration Officer (IO) wrote that I I applied as high school teacher NOC 4141, but I applied for College teacher NOC4131 which is one of the occupation exists in the latest skilled workers occupation list of 38, whereas IO quoted NOC4141 is not in the list. He is also writing that although NOC code 4141 correspond to the occupation specified in the Minister’s instructed list I could not sufficiently demonstrated that I performed the main duties and the actions described in the lead statement of the occupation, as set out in the description of the NOC, or that I performed all the essential duties and substantial number of the main duties as set out in the occupation described in the NOC. It is clear that I applied for NOC 4131, but the IO is referring to a different NOC code which is 4141.
One point may be important. I am a college teacher in Bangladesh and my college teaches students up to grade 12. In Bangladesh grade 11 and 12 are classified as college teaching and the institutions are called colleges. In Canada, grade 11 and 12 are taught in High School. Is this the catchy point? But if this was the reason of rejection, then why immigration officer is pointing to another NOC that does not exists on the approved NOC list of the CIC and which was not mentioned in applicant’s application?
Any advise will be highly appreciated

I think you answered your own question. You applied as 4131 but your duties are those of 4141 as you are teaching students in Grade 11 & 12 which is considered Secondary School. So that is what the VO compared your job to, as it isn't college level it is high school level instruction.
