noc 2133 vs 7242

[brav21]

I hold an electrical/electronics engineering bsc degree and i have just completed my master degree in systems engineering.i have worked in a government establishment from march 2006 to sept 2009 before i did my masters degree.the noc for electrical engineers is 2133. can i apply under noc 7242 which is industrial electricians as most  of my duties relates to the noc 7242. the office is willing to give me a reference letter as an industrial electrician (installations and maintenance) for this purpose but am confused on how to go about this as i would not want to take chances in using a wrong reference letter.

Can you please share your (7242) job description from reference letter. I will apply these days and I am afraid that they might refuse me for insufficient job description details in reference letters. Please help.

Description from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada's National Occupation Classification

I know about that description, and that is indeed what was my job. I worry about quality of description in my reference. I know that I can not copy/paste text from HRSDC description. In my letters it is mentioned that I was doing installation, service and preventive maintenance. There is no much specific details. I worry if it is enough or not.

Greetings to all,

     I have sent my application to CIO Sydney,with my fingers crossed,as i had applied for FSW in 2006 and my case was rejected becuz of low points got,65,but now since i got married and my wife got a diploma hope my points will increase but i was shocked with the big changes in the new list of jobs that cab apply for category 1 of FSW, anyhow, I got a bachelor degree in Electrical engineering majoring in electronics and worked 3 years as electronic technician and 1 year as electrical engineer then 4 years as INSTRUMENT TECHNICIAN on a drilling rig, i have choosed INSTRUMENT TECHNICIAN as my first choice of assessment against the listed NOC 7242 industrial electrician ,my inquiry is that my job title is not same as industrial electrical job titles listed on the CIC website,and my job description focuses mainly on dealing with electronic and control systems repairs and maintenance.....do i stand a chance to qualify under the NOC 7242 industrial electrician ,

one more inquiry , i sent my application by courier service but by mistake wrote down the address given for regular mail address by the CIO would that affect my application or delay.

i will  apply under 7242 but I i am working on IELTS for next exam on 7 Jan 2012.I think if you applied under 7242 for first time you should keep on this because they will ask you later do your file rejected before?but you able to provide a letter reference which include all your benefit duties.I recommend please have a consultation to agent he will help you as immigration process is a lot hard and complex
God bless you.

Well mr saeid thanks for ur reply, but I applied in 2006 before they come up with new criteria system ,my case was rejected becuz I didn't got 14 out of 16 points in the ielts exam,nit becuz of my job, but now it's a new system, I applied under industrial electrician noc 7242 but my main duties are more into electronic control and monitoring systems repair and installation although igot involved in electrical works but it's not mentioned clearly in my job description that's my concern,besides I don't advise to go to a consultant i tried them before and becuz of them i got rejected.
