LMIA level of education mistake

Hi there,

My employer has mistakenly put a "Level of education" higher than my academic degree. They've put Bachelor's degree and I hold a College diploma. The NOC is 2174.

I'm wondering if that can lead to a Work Visa refusal.

At first I thought it wouldn't because the CIC website says: "Proof that you are eligible for the job (for example: a valid Canadian provincial or territorial trade certificate, educational requirements or past work experience outlined in a resume)." and I have 10 years of proven experience in computer programming.

And the NOC 2174 webpage states:
Employment requirements
  • A bachelor's degree in computer science or in another discipline with a significant programming component
  • or
  • Completion of a college program in computer science is usually required.
  • Specialization in programming for engineering and scientific applications requires specific post-secondary study or experience.
After all I've got a job offer letter, which must worth something, right?

Would my Work Visa application be denied?
Do you know anyone that was in the same situation and got either an approval or a denial?
