So I recently changed my primary occupation to an occupation I have less than a year experience in. That is not the occupation I am using to claim points.
The occupation I am using to cliam points was obtained 7 years ago. My score is still the same.
Infact, what I noticed is that there is no question for length of employment in the primary occupation. This means it is irrelevent to the MEC.

So in that case one doesnt have to work in that Primary NOC code for at least a continuous year?newbutterfly said:
However what I am trying to understand is that lets say a person has 3 year experience from 2008 to 2011... then that person is actually eligible because he/she has work experience during the last 10 years..... but then he /she wont have a primary NOC code because 2011 is not within the last 5 years ? How is that possible....
Its lacking logic here...
Anyone any idea?

Its how they process applications, and in this case Assessing applications against minimum requirements, Minimum work experience requirement
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/econ/fsw/minimum.asp
Minimum work experience requirement
The applicant must have accumulated at least one year of continuous full-time (or the equivalent in part-time) paid work experience in the occupation identified in their application for permanent residence as their primary occupation. In calculating this period of work experience, the occupation must be listed in skill type 0 (Managerial occupations), skill level A (Professional occupations) or skill level B (Technical occupations and skilled trades) of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2011 [R75(2)(a)].
The applicant’s skilled work experience must also
have occurred within the ten years preceding the date of their application for permanent residence; and
not be in an occupation that has been designated as a restricted occupation.
Note: At the time of publication, no occupations were designated as restricted.
In addition, during that period of employment, the applicant must have
performed the actions described in the lead statement for the occupation as set out in the occupational description of the NOC [R75(2)(b)]; and
performed a substantial number of the main duties, including all of the essential duties, of the occupation as set out in the occupational description of the NOC [R75(2)(c)].
Note: The applicant does not need to demonstrate that they meet the “employment requirements” listed in the NOC occupational description.

hi,
my problem is my current occupation in Canada is fraud analyst that is neither relevant with my base occupation Veterinarian or my bachelor degree!!
my work experience within the last 5 yrs (cook/chef from UK+Canada) is completely irrelevant with base occupation.
So which occupation should I select as a primary occupation!
I have already received NOI by selecting primary occupation as a Veterinarian!!
What are my chances to get NOI or PR if I choose NOC as a cook or Chef.
Completely lost now!! help me pls!

We all will back you in this...give me some time...
also write a personal msg to legalfalcon & now regarding primary
regarding primary occupation,CIC has since then modified the definition to 'an occupation within last 10 years '
this change has occurred btn my earlier post and now...so if you have anything in last 10 years it is good enough
Thank you!
my last 5 yrs experience is completely irrelevant with my education.
Can I still use those experience as a primary occupation for CEC?
