Refuse because a wrong NOC

Will be there a refusal because, for example, I have chosen civil engineers NOC 2131 instead of mechanical engineers NOC 2132, although duties may sound similar across these two NOCs.

Depends on your luck I guess ... I have seen both cases. below are examples (in a different industry though)

Rejected because of NOC change .. Although similar NOC but in this case this person changed NOC after ITA

Accepted and analyst infact made a note that better NOC was something else.

So it all about VO. Thank you for your reply!
But where it is mentioned in the first link that a person changed his/her NOC after receiving ITA. Because I did the same. Changed from NOC 2131 to 2132.

It appears so .. personally I would not have imagined someone getting a rejection based on NOC code but there is a case like that .. so yes that is a possibility.

In your case, if I were in your situation (my personal opinion.. you can disregard), I would choose the NOC which is closest to my education.

So, if you are saying there is hardly any difference between civil engineer NOC vs Mechanical engineer NOC .. I would choose Civil Engineer if my education is in that field or vice versa. Although, NOC is NOT education dependent and only job duties matter .. but I think I would have used education as the tie breaker question :)

It is an interest opinion. Also I want to use my specialty as a reason. Because I work in the nuclear field and 2132 is the only one which has nuclear job titles.
At first I just thought that I work in environmental engineering which is included in Civil Engineers NOC but now I think that it is wrong because nuclear facilities it is hardy anything connected to Civil.
When I created EE I put mechanical engineering and then put civil. And after ITA put back mechanical.
Do you think it will be a problem?

As you have seen in the above examples .. my opinion do not matter. But, personally, I don't think it should not be an issue. Plus I agree to your reasoning. I think based on what you have mentioned I feel Mechanical makes more sense. I wish you the best and I hope you get a reasonable case analyst and VO.
