Primary Occupation Question

[specialmary]

I remember having a long debate with Asivad about exactly this subject and I thought we had settled it, but for some reason he seems to have reverted to his opinion that FSW points are awarded for one occupation only.

I agree with specialmary that this is not the case - thanks for digging out these regulations. The only relevance of the primary occupation is to ensure the applicant meets the minimum work requirement.

Lots of immigration lawyers are not aware of this too. Therefore, if you are finding a lawyer, find a good one.

I know nothing about CEC.

Calculate crs score yourself using crs calculator

Use your professional job as your primary NOC as I believe if u get settle in here u may not wanna go back and do NOC b job.

However u can also claim points for your NOC b job in EE and FSW scale. So all in all u r getting points for 3 plus years for EE and 4 years for FSW

sir thankyou for your reply, firstly
secondly,
my concern is can i use my noc code b job for crs score
because some consultant told me that i did noc b job after my graduation in engineering so that is problem.

To be straight i say:
i have a masters/professional degree with 3+ years of experience for CRS score.
is this a true statement true here?

Again u can choose any one of them as your primary NOC. WhT is important here is a at least continuous 1 year work experience in any of the jobs which u have

Hii All
i have a question about my primary occupation. actually, I have two job experiences ( 6 months each) and both are in NOC B. so which should I consider as a primary occupation?

NOC 2211 - 6 months
NOC 9232 - 6 Months

Hello

Please help me understand the primary occupation I can choose now in express entry profile:

NOC B - 5 years of foreign work experience
NOC A - 1year exp while I was on a study permit

NOC 0 Stem - From May 2023 - Present ( until August 2023 I was on study permit and from Sept I am on PGWP)

To be eligible for one year CEC - I will be waiting until Sept-2023.

For my Express Entry profile in the FSW category, which primary occupation should I choose?

Dear Dan_and/other Expert Member,
Based on above discussion, could you please clarify the following issue:
So to claim points for Foreign work experience, we don't need to full fill the "employment requirements" for Foreign work experience. It is found from the Note of "Minimum Work Experience Requirement" of Assessing Federal Skill Workers. That foreign work experience could be your primary occupations as well.
But confusion arises when we are going to fill out the form of Express entry profile. Under the Primary occupation, it is written like this:"any other job, this is the date they first obtained the minimum education or training stated in the NOC description. (Note: if the NOC only states high school, this is the date they graduated.)"
Isn't it contradictory??? Do i need to fulfill the "employment requirements" to claim it primary occupations(I have only one foreign work experience continuous two years job)???? Please suggest.

Lately i got ITA under Canadian Experience Class (CEC). But for my primary occupations that is foreign work experience(two years continuous job in one noc), i didn't have "employment requirements" at that time of my experience as our country's regulation is different from NOC "employment requirments". But i have that specific degree now.My query is :
1) I got ITA under CEC program? Are they going to assess me under Federal Skill Program?
2) I don't have "Employment requirements" at that time for my primary occupations. Is this going to be a reason for my refusal for my PR application? (i am in dilemma about this issue. Should i decline ITA only for this issue or i should go forward positively for my PR application)
Even i don't get any point for "primary occupation" BUT i got point for my foreign work experience that is exempted from "employment requirements"
Please suggest me about this issue.

Can you tell what happened then ? Did you choose the foreign experince one NOC code or the canadian one NOC code
