Update of work experience after ITA was received

[livar]

I have received an ITA 10 day ago. Now I am filling the application and gathering all supporting documents.
I have doubts regarding NOC code I selected for the part of my work experience before ITA was received. For the 6 years of my work experience I selected 8232 NOC code. Now I think it would be more right to select NOC 8232 for 3 years and NOC 2132 for another 3 years. Both codes are eligible for Express entry program and I have enough experience in any case. I just want to be sure that at this stage I can update this sort of information in my application.
Can they treat it as misrepresentation?
Is it ok to ask this question through "Case Specific Enquiry"?

As long as your score remains above minimum cutoff of your ITA, you can make the changes. Go ahead and make the changes.

StAnger thanks for the reply. Should I notify about these changes of my profile with "Case Specific Enquiry"? Or any other way?
I'm just afraid that after I update work experience and submit the application they can treat this update as misrepresentation or data falsifying.

Until you submit your application, post ITA, you can make as many changes you like (As long as your score does not change and it is above the minimum cutoff of the draw).

In case you submit the application and than their is a change, that might be considered as misinterpretation.

So relax and submit the right information.

StAnger is correct. To sum:

1. No, don't raise a CSE. That's only for situations that may warrant a CSE after you submit your eAPR.
2. You can change stuff at this point. The only thing is that the burden is on you to make sure that whatever changes you may make do not result in a CRS score below the ITA cutoff during your round.
3. To elaborate on #2 above, you can change your NOC's and what not. In your case, since both NOCs count for EE, you should be fine. Just make sure that the primary NOC (whichever you may have) meets the minimum eligibility "1 year full-time continuous" criteria.
4. For the sake of clarity, no, it won't be considered misrep if you change your NOC at this point.

Best wishes.

Thank you a lot!

Just want to clarify.
Since Sep 2009 I had 9 months of 8232, then 2 years 10 month of 2132, then 2 years and 4 months of 8232 (before I counted all this experience under 8232)
I got points in EE draw as if I would had 3+ years of experience. Will the points be the same when I will remove 2 years 10 months of 2132?
I mean is it ok that there is a gap in experience for my main NOC - 8232.

Is there any more or less official way to check based on my duties and responsibilities which NOC is the right choice?

You will be fine as long as you didn't choose 2132 as your primary NOC, since you have 3+ years under 8232. The gap will not be an issue since the experiences have been in the last 10 years. By the way, I'm assuming that 8232 (whatever occupation it is) falls under NOC 0, A or B. Make sure to include the gap year experience under 2132 in your Personal History section.

Email NC-NOC-CNP-GD@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca with your duties and responsibilities with a request. They should get back with the closest NOC.

Best wishes.

I got the reply from NC-NOC-CNP-GD@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca regarding NOC for each of my position.
To be honest I found this service of a very low quality. It took about 6 emails to find the answer to my simple question.
I believe they are wrong with NOC for two of my positions. However, since this NOC is not my main NOC I want to follow their answer and assign the NOC they suggest.
Also, I want to attach their answer to my application or send it with papers. Is it ok to do like this? Will this email answer from NC-NOC-CNP-GD be good support for my application regarding selected NOCs?
