I have a problem I think. I'm under NOC 2171, and while preparing my work experience letter I couldn't quite write my job duties in my own words AND make them match the NOC descriptions at the same time, so what I did was a mix: I wrote some of my normal technical job duties plus some of the NOC wording as is on the NOC website. I got all this down on my company's letterhead with contact information, website, etc. and signed and stamped by my HR department. In all other respects, it was a good letter, but my problem is this: I discovered that copying NOC wording directly into reference letters can be cause for refusal of applications :( I didn't know that at the time, wish I did!

So, I'm wondering what I can do to correct this situation...is it too late? My application was received by CIO on 8 September.
Does anyone know of similar situations in the FSW class where the applicant got a PER?? Please advise!

Basmabooboo. You have just said that you mixed it and that it is not wholistically the NOC wordings. Some words do not have perfect replacements. you are just ok. Those who will assess the applications too do not have the details crammed, so they may not even see the word for word language. relax and expect good news in a couple of months.
