NOC: 2171 - FSW '14 - Immigration help

[anand_1122]

Hi folks,

I am in the process of filing for Canadian PR under FSW '14 under NOC: 2171. I have gone through the NOC list and it says that the requirement for NOC: 2171 usually is programmer.

But I do not have experience in programming although I have good knowledge of programming ( I know my knowledge wouldn't help for prerequisite )

I started career as Support Engineer and moved roles and I am currently working as Business Analyst. Overall I have 3.10 years of IT experience.

Will this significantly affect my application and do I have to worry about my different roles within these 3+ years ?

A business analyst is not the same thing as a systems analyst. If you have no programming experience, I think you're going to have a lot of challenges being accepted under NOC 2171.

I think your good. 2171 is a consulting position who sits between client and developers. You don't have to do programs but have some idea on it. Its a senior level post in IT.

Hi Sania91,

If your experience is around application security (designing, implementing and maintaining user accesses), you can apply under NOC 2171.

Thank you for your response. My job includes security in every domain be it hardware, software/application, access controls(physical/logical), physical security, HR security. My job is to keep information secure at all levels. Is it enough to apply under NOC 2171?
