Intended NOC different than NOC for work experience

[data_313]

Hello,

My current job title is Graduate Assistant, NOC 4012, however as my field of study is Computer Science, I am looking for jobs for Data Scientist, NOC 2172, or a software engineer NOC 2173. If I get a job in one of my intended job titles, is it valid for my Express Entry profile and will it be accepted for adding to the CRS score?

Thank you.

When you immigrate to Canada, you can work in any job your want (or not at all). If looking for job offer, you need a LMIA too. The LMIA proves no Canadian or PR could be hired, only you have those skills.
