NOC has "Job title" but no "Main duties"

Good Morning everyone :)

I'm working online as a Math Tutor for a tutoring school. I think it's under "NOC 4216-Other instructors", since "Tutor-elementary school subject" is an example job title....

However, "Main Duties" of NOC 4216 doesn't mention Tutor at all... The "Lead Statement" only mentions Tutor by 1 short sentence. This made me very worried, cuz the CEC job requirements says "You must show that you performed the duties set out in the lead statement of the occupational description in the NOC. This includes all the essential duties and most of the main duties listed."

NOC 4216 is a VERY BROAD category with more than 20 titles, all quite different, from driving school instructors, sewing instructors, to cooking instructors...

The "Main Duties" only lists 4 jobs' duties: driving, sewing, and modelling instructors, plus driving examiner. But nothing about Tutor.

But "Tutor-elementary school subjects" is indeed listed as an example title.

So, I have two questions:

1. Is it safe to use this Tutor job for CEC?
2. This is an online job (cuz Covid), the school is in ON but I'm in Alberta. Is it a problem if my 1-year work experience is online?

I'd really appreciate any kind advice. Thank you so much!

1. Eligible NOC is safe (NOC A, B or O). You simply need yo make sure your duties match those from the NOC you chose.
2. It's fine as long as you're in Canada.

My concern is that the "NOC 4216-Other instructors" is a very broad category with more than 20 titles, so the "Main duties" section only lists duties for 4 jobs. and my Tutor job's duties are NOT mentioned there.. However NOC does lists Tutor as an example job title....

So basically, my job title is listed under the NOC. But there is no description of my job's "main duties".... Do you think that's problematic?
