Which NOC to choose?

[chrishelms]

Hey guys,

I hope somebody can help me with this:L

I have worked for a company in Canada for the last 16 months as "Director of Photography" which would be NOC 5131. I just discovered that on my work permit the NOC code entered is 5222 for "Video Operators"

Now when I look at the descriptions of both jobs at the NOC list I'm somewhere in between both but more Director of Photography.

I was wondering if I should file my application under 5222 so that all my work experience counts or rather as 5131 which fits my job description better?
Could my EE application be denied because my job is more demanding than what is listed under "Video Operators"?

Thanks for any feedback!

The NOC types dont matter anymore for Express Entry.

I am in the same boat i am 5221 I am a photographer and NOC does matter at the end why because you enter the pool if you are Skilled worker. In mine and Chris case its NOC B Skilled Set Creative Arts

Any other people on this forum who are related to Creative Arts?

Please help me in selecting the NOC for EE profile creation.

Currently I am working in Health care Industry as a Center Manager (In Cosmetic Surgery Department)- NOC 0311, but previously was working with Fitness( NOC 0513),Beauty and Slimming(Weightloss) Industry (0651)as the Center,Branch Manager and also as Area Manager for one year. I have completed my Bachelors in Nutrition and Dietetics

So I am confused which NOC to be chosen. If I chose 0311,then its is for Healthcare managers,but for that we need to be in a position of Directors,VP etc.. So I am confused to chose between these NOC codes 0114, 0014 or 0651.
