Does the NOC for primary occupation need to be same as the NOC for the current full-time job for the FSW express entry application?I have more than 3 years of experience for the NOC 4011 so I want to indicate this as my primary occupation but my current full-time job in Canada has the NOC 2283. Kindly advise.
NOC for primary occupation for FSW profile

- Start date
No harm in getting a second opinion indeed...
No, NOC for primary occupation doesn't need to be the same as NOC for the current full-time job. It just needs to be in work experience section, and satisfy work experience requirements (continuity, last 10 years, etc...).
I suggest you include your two jobs on NOC 4011 in work experience section. Just note that you'll need to provide work reference letters for each position for them to count, and they both need to show and fit duties for NOC 4011.
Yes it worked as the profile is now accepted as eligible! Once again, I appreciate your help very much!
Could anyone help me please?
I have 8 years of experience under NOC 2171 and 1 year under NOC 1114.
I might put NOC 1114 as primary but I've worked as an IT Financial Planer during my last year of school (2014) and I got my bachelor degree in Economics in 2015. I am afraid that there could be a problem with the specified date when I became qualified to practice in this occupation. Also, I got my Computer Science degree in 2009 and since 2010 have worked in occupations related to IT consulting.
So, it is OK that my Primary NOC is 2171 and I apply for PNP with NOC 1114?
Thank you!
