NOC related help

[psharath4u]

Dear All, I am on a Closed WP with NOC code as 2171. However, my prior experience has roles/responsibilities related to 2173. Even in current job, i have few responsibilities which fall under 2173. Can i create Express Entry profile with NOC code as 2173 instead of 2171? Will that be an issue as my current closed WP is on 2171? Please advise.

You must have at least one year of continuous work experience under this NOC to create your Express Entry profile using this NOC. You can't use any of the work experience under your 2171 closed work permit towards this year (since you are working under a closed work permit tied to a different NOC). If you want to use 2173, you must have prior work experience under this NOC that is at least a year in length.

Thanks for the reply. If i have 10 years of experience, can i use NOC 2173 for the first 6-7 years of my prev employers and the remaining 3 years as 2171 on the EE profile?
