NOC (National Occupational Classification) Issues

[farazafzal]

Dear All,

A question regarding NOC is bothering me today. I have received an ITA on 13th January.

In past I have worked in two different occupations (with different title and job responsibilities). My total experience is 4 years with my Current employer ( NOC - 1) PLUS 2 years with my former employer (NOC - 2) both in different settings. Someone told me that you can not have multiple NOCs. I can only have one NOC throughout the career (e.g. Chemical Engineer) always reflecting my similar responsibilities.

Though my gut feeling is that anyone could have multiple NOCs, e.g.

Mr. Person-A was B.Sc. in Electronics (worked in Electronics Company for 2 years with an NOC), Later he completed M.Sc in Mechatronics (worked in Robotics Company with a different NOC), Then acquired Phd in Mechanisms (started Professorship in a University with a different NOC). I am sure Mr. Person-A wants to claim all the experience he had in different job responsibilities OR i am missing something. Someone with previous experience can confirm this.

Thanks

Of course, you can have multiple NOCs. For the purposes of EE, your foreign work experience across multiple NOCs (0/A/B) can be counted to a maximum of 3 years within the last 10 years.

Hello fellow citizens!

I have a question.

I Submitted an Express Entry application in June 2016. Received a CRS score of 431.

In my EE application I specified multiple NOCs in my foreign work experience. The NOCs are 2281, 2282 and 0213. The first two are closely connected together. I perform the duties from all of the NOCs at my current job.

Please, advise whether it is best to just keep one NOC or multiple NOCs.

Thanks for your help.

You can have multiple NOCs, but you need to have and you have to show that you have more than 1 year continuous year within last 10 years in one particular NOC.

I remember that there is a question asked in EE profile, where you have to answer which NOC IRCC should consider for your EE profile. You can have multiple NOCs, but consider selecting a NOC of which you can show proofs of at least one year continuous work exp within last 10 years.
