I think that should be fine for now because their eligibility criteria is not NOC specific.

Of course, you won't be able to change it after submitting the application or receiving the nomination.

Basically, my issue is that in the documents requested by them they have stated and I quote:-

"If you are currently working in an occupation that is regulated in Ontario which
requires mandatory certification or licensing in Ontario, you must submit proof of
your certification or license. For more information on regulated professions in
Ontario, visit:

I am applying from outside Canada and currently working as a software engineer, So do I need to submit the certificate or is this applicable for people currently applying from Canada.... I am just confused :'(

A regulated profession requirement is binding on everyone - doesn't matter where you're applying from. If you can prove to OOPNP and CIC that you are qualified and experienced for 2174, go ahead and change it . That is the key requirement - If you can prove it conclusively or not.

So 2174 is unregulated I reckon??

What is your title/position ? 2173 for sure is regulated. If you can tweak your roles & responsibilities and even your title to match 2171 then you should be fine. Again, you would need to have a detailed discussion with your employer on how comfortable they are adjusting the title & roles.

Based on what I observed, no one from NOC 2174 received PT. Hence its likely that you may have problems if you change your noc to 2174. Better call CIC before editing your EE profile.

Hi,

I belong to NOC code 2174 and I have got the PT letter for OONP. So I believe you can go ahead and change your NOC to 2174.
