Hi guys,
I have a few questions regarding the work history section.

1. I was working 20 hours/week while on my study permit which was allowed under the study permit. For this, the form asks Which of these categories does my job fall under?
(a) work permit required but no LMIA required
(b) work permit and LMIA required
(c)
work permit not required (I chose this. Is it correct?)

2. I know NOC questions have been done to death but trust me this is really a unique case. I was working at a startup incubator which helped early-stage startups to launch in the market. Primarily my job responsibility was
(A) manage events and promotions to attract these startups to join our incubator as well as attract investors
(B) run online ad campaigns, build a web presence, and help manage their website
(C) help startups to create business strategies and refine business processes.
I'm leaning towards 1123 and think I should focus more on my responsibilities related to (A)

3. I was also working as a co-founder of a jewelry/accessories business for which I think I should go for 6211 and not 0621. More or less the main duties of 0621 do match but I was running a small business and hence main duties of 6211 seemed more aligned

The NOCs aren't really that important for any work experience you gained while in Canada on a study permit since this work does not count as work experience for immigration purposes. I would go with whatever NOC makes sense to you.

Are you saying the NOCs are not important in general or for the work-ex on study permit in Canada?

The last two questions are actually related to work experience gained in India. I have 5 years of work experience from India and about a year of work ex in Canada. My bad, I should've been more clear in asking these questions.
