If you have been rejected due to an inaccurate NOC code, would you please advise on when you got the rejection? Was it within the first 2-3 weeks of submission? Or down the line (more like 2-3 months)
When I submitted my PR application on August 10th, I selected NOC code 1123 (Professional occupations in advertising, marketing and public relations). I didn't care to read the typical duties of that noc code, since I thought that NOC codes are no longer that important in the new Express Entry system (in my mind, they only mattered in the old system when there were quotas per NOC codes)
I have 10 years of Marketing experience and now I'm beating myself for not reading the main duties of NOC code 1123 before I submitted. Most of my experience is in the Marketing research field, and I now realize that my NOC code should have been 4163 (Business development officers and marketing researchers and consultants). I had assumed that "professional occupations in marketing" covered Marketing research! Bad assumption obviously!
I've read about so many people getting rejected due to inaccurate NOC codes. It's been about a month and a half since I submitted my application, so a little piece of me is still hoping that the longer I wait to hear from them, the higher the chances that they might accept the NOC code I submitted.
