Hi everyone,
I want to apply in SINP. My educational background is a Bachelor Of Science in Computer Science & Engineering (Computer Engineering), My work experience is in Software Engineering NOC-2173. According to SINP, my education needs to be relevant to my work experience.
My question is "Can I apply with noc 2173"? Did anyone get an invitation and finally got PR in Saskatchewan having the same profile.

I am confused with NOC 2147 - Computer engineers (except software engineers and designers) where Employment requirements are a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical or electronics engineering, engineering physics or computer science.
But in the case of 2173, the Employment requirements are a bachelor's degree, usually, in computer science, computer systems engineering, software engineering or mathematics or completion of a college program in computer science is usually required. Is Computer Engineering Degree valid for NOC-2173? I would be grateful if you advise on the matter.

You match your job responsibilities to the NOC. Your ECA then should match either NOC. Nomination depends on your SINP score and whether your NOC is selected. Also those NOCs are licensed so you would need a license to be nominated. All information is on the website.

I have Bachelors in Electronics and Communication Engineering and Masters in Computer Science, and I am working as a Software Engineer for the past 12 years with no breaks. My job responsibilities letter matches with the NOC 21231 - Software Engineer and that part is clear.

SINP has asked me to provide Engineer-in-Training membership from APEGS. Has anyone succeeded getting SINP nomination for NOC code 21231 - Software Engineer but APEGS certification is obtained based on Bachelors in Electronics and Communication Engineer (Electrical Engineering stream) though you have Masters in Computer Science. APEGS mentions that only Bachelors needs to be provided and not Masters. Does providing just Bachelors and obtaining APEGS certificate not conflict with my NOC 21231 - Software Engineer and is there any chance of SINP rejecting based on this (reason: Education doesn't match with Job).

Does SINP care about the stream from which Engineer-in-Training membership is obtained APEGS? I saw from APEGS certification that there is no stream mentioned in the certification, it just says Engineer-in-Training as opposed to Software Engineer-in-Training / Electrical Engineer-in-Training. So I feel it doesn't make a difference by choosing Electrical Engineering (with using just my Bachelors courses) / Software Engineer (with using both my Masters and Bachelors course). Please advice.
