Hi,

I have a question regarding FSWP work experience requirement. I have worked as a financial analyst in financial planning and analysis department of a global manufacturing company in US for 3.5 years. Although my job title was "financial analyst" (later, senior financial analyst), my main duties are very far from the job description for NOC code 1111 -Financial analyst. I did mainly managerial finance, forecasting and budget, variance analysis and other financial planning and analysis related projects.

I would think that my job description is somewhat close to 1112-accountant, but not exactly the same. What should I do? Should I tailor my job description so that it matches with 1112-accountant or apply under 1111-financial analyst? Please advise.

Take a printout of the Job Duties mentioned on the HRSDC website.

http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2011/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=1112 / 1111 or any.

Take a printout of your Experience Letter mentioning the Job Description.

The NOC that matches your Experience Letter is your actual NOC.

My Advice: Be precise in selecting the NOC.

Note: Job Title does not matter. Job Description matters.
