Hi
I'm just about to send in my PR application under CEC - Canadian Experience Class. I have been in Canada for 4 yrs working in an executive assistant role for 3 yrs and 5 mths and then moved into a project specialist role for the last 5 mths with the same company. I have a Bachelor of Business degree as well.
I am going to apply under NOC category 1221.
Can anyone advise if they believe this is the correct category or any other experience using this NOC category.
Thanks so much J.

Um... you had 2 different jobs, so you need 2 different NOCs. They're both skilled -

Executive assistant is 1222 -

For the project specialist, 1221 is good if the role is more administrative than technical...

Um... why? I'm not sure why you would be asking that -

I think I got confused after reading a couple of other messages/topics that's the only reason I questioned it and also to reassure myself that I am applying under the right class. I appreciate all your help.
