NOC Code Problem !!!!!!!!!!

[bloomy]

Your use of the word "system" implies that you think this is an automatic process. It is not.

Whether or not your NOC matches your actual job will only be determined once you submit an application in response to an ITA. You will have to supply a reference letter for each job you list under the work experience section. A visa officer will then compare the job duties listed in the reference letters to the duties listed under the NOC code.

It will be in his / her discretion to determine this. Obviously, the more overlap between your reference letter and the NOC code the better.

Whether or not you can get in trouble for a potential NOC mismatch for a job you're not claiming points for again depends on the VO's judgement. If they think you deliberately tried to deceive them, you may have a problem. If it's just an immaterial mismatch, they may accept it.

Bottom line: Ensure your NOC code and your actual job match as much as possible.

Thank you very much this is very useful information

Bloomy, what many of us had to do is write the job letter ourselves so it closely matches the NOC code description. The problem is that while the work may be the same as the NOC code, how it is described in the company's job description may not match what CIC needs. That said, be very careful not to deceive CIC. Misrepresentation is very serious.

YamPower, yes you are right I do not want to put something wrong. This is my concern.

As I understood from the pointing system, if you have more than 3 years experience in the same NOC you will get highest mark, doesn’t matter whether you have 20 years or 4 years.

So I may indicate 5 years engineering and 1 year management NOC code and I will indicate the primary occupation as geological engineering (where I have 5 years experience).

And problem will be solved I guess.

But another consideration is that if Canadian government would like to hire more geological engineer and the sorting will be dependent on the years of experience at that time I will lose some advantage.

Where I could have 6 years total geological engineering experience if I could state all of my occupations under the code 2144 ( geological engineering )

I don't think you have to be concerned about that at all.

Express Entry for FSW and CEC covers NOC 0 A, or B and both NOC codes (for management and engineering) fall under that.

Do you know of a scheme or program where the Canadian government is hiring people directly? Private companies don't go digging into your immigration records (not sure how they would even get access to that) when they decide on who they're hiring.
