Hey,
I just wanted to know what does Primary noc mean in the profile for cec! Is it necessary to
Have 1 year full time experience from one noc job title or can I add another noc job to the profile. I read some place that you got to have 1 year full time job experience in a primary noc job and you can’t add two or more different jobs with different noc codes. Bare in mind these are all noc A B or O level.

I have recently completed 8 months working in a noc b job as a technician! And since the summer is coming more and more opportunities are opening in the construction field! So was wondering should I continue to stay in this company for next 4 month or can I switch to another job with a different noc code but under noc level A , B or O.

Yes you can claim accumulative experience under CEC, doesn't need to be single job for last 1 year. Then the primary NOC becomes one you are currently working in.

Keep in mind if the officer decides to verify, they will actually contact HR/manager who wrote you that experience letter. If he/she goes rogue they will delay or refuse PR if IRCC can't verify your experience.

That is true for FSW, but not CEC.

You can switch, if you are talking about in-Canada experience.

Hi all,
I was wondering is it ok if the primary NOC is different from NOC in pnp?
I have got my nomination on a NOC A but I also have 1 year of experience in a NOC B in Canada.
Can I put my NOC B as the primary? and if yes, then it means my language score should meet the NOC B requirement, right?

Give your current occupation as your primary one since if your employed currently you have to put that as ur current work experience
