NOC code error after ITA, BCPNP Nomination! HELP!

[Lottie604]

Hi All,

I recived my PNP Nomination under NOC code 4163, and shortly after I recived my ITA under Express Entry. However I applied to PNP and EE using the NOC code 1123. Which fits my job and education requirements. I have no idea why BC PNP nominated me under the other NOC code, if they think its better thats totally fine- BUT what am I supposed to do with my application to PR. As far as I can see I have four options:

1. I apply for PR with a PNP for 4163, and work history and current job under 1123 and my application will be denied because this doesn't make sense.

2. I change my current job NOC to match my PNP however I recived an ITA under the NOC 1123 and to change the NOC may be grounds to deny the application- has anyone changes their NOC codes after ITA and before applying for PR?


3. I get a corrected PNP under the NOC 1123 and hope that CIC accept this change and do not deny my application. I am not even sure if this is possible I have emailed BCPNP to ask!

4. Reject ITA, apply again and have my current job match my PNP NOC Code- Does anyone know if you reject your ITA and resubmit you profile do you still have your PNP nomination?

I am so worried now! Any help or guidance will is greatly appreciated!

I can't answer all your queries but you can certainly change your primary NOC after receiving your ITA because the ITA does not (entirely) depend on the primary NOC that you provided in your profile. But you will have to ensure the following...

1. If you had applied under FSWP, you should still be above 67 points with the revised NOC. The rules for PNP might not warrant this requirement.

2. You should provide documentation to support at least 1 year of full-time, continuous paid work experience under the revised NOC because that is the minimum criteria under EE.

Hope that helped. All the best!

Thank you so much! That is really helpful, I am not FSWP, so changing my NOC code wont affect that. And I will be able to provide the Documentation for the revised NOC code, since they are very similar. I will ensure my LOR and employment offers reflect the revised NOC code.
