Hi, I have a quick question

Before applying for the express entry, I calculated my points using the express entry calculator. : https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

For the 6th question, it asks me whether - (i) I have skilled work Experience in Canada, & (ii) I have foreign skilled work experience.

I would like to know whether both (i) and (ii) require me to have experience in the same NOC code, or can it be different?

I already have 2 years work experience in a foreign country (outside Canada) and,
If I were to get a job offer in Canada, I would like to know if it has to be in the same NOC code to retain my points (earned in my 2 years), or can it be in a different NOC code.

no need to be the same NOC. But must be NOC 0, A or B

Hi experts,

I have a quick question regarding express entry application, I have a full time course in India and and experience at the same time, I am on a study permit in Canada but I just showed my experience not the education, now I have done ECA of that education, so can I move ahead with my express entry profile. Please tell me i am in a big confusion.
