Regulated Profession , I need your expertise guys , plz help

[noorulhuda]

If you are practicing a profession which is regulated in Canada you will still apply under the same NOC. Its does not matter if you need a license to practice in Canada.

Eg. A doctor qualified to practice in Singapore will apply under the NOC code of a doctor even though he will have to get re-licensed in Canada. Similarly, a lawyer qualified to practice in India will use the NOC for a lawyer.

As a lawyer qualified in the US and India I used the NOC and there have been no issues.

Hi Tanit,

I am in the same boat as I work as an architect in Abu Dhabi. After asking several architects in Canada, I concluded that I had to apply as an Architect Technologist (2251) as I don't qualify to be an architect right away in ON. My guess is that if you are an AIA licensed in the US then you will be automatically qualified to be an architect in Canada. Do your research though...I may be wrong.

Hi Blue.Genie,
I am quite confused with my NOC code as well. I am applying through express entry and I have a masters in architecture and over 2 years of work experience. Unfortunately I've never acquired a license in my country. How did you conclude on applying through NOC 2251? Would you recommend I do the same?
