Clarification regarding NOC code

[CEC_DEC_27]

HI ALL,

I have my JOB title as software engineer but my duties are of Software developer. My company gives a designation as software engineer for a software developer duties. Now i am little confused what to selected in my express entry for job title and Job duties. should i go with 2173(Software engineer) or 2174(Computer programmer). My offer letter as JOB tiltle as Software engineer Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have similar doubts. I have the initial impression that you have to select 2173 Software Engineer (CIC could filter by job title first, I'm not sure).

Then if you put 2174 Software Developer but they will initially see your title having 'Engineer', it may raise a flag. I hope they don't immediately invalidate your claim. Best if they try to look at your duties to see if it satifies what you are claiming.

I don't think job title matters a lot. Mostly it is your actual duties carried out in your job should closely match the NOC code you reported.

Yes, you have a point there. So he should select 2174 then.

I have a related scenario in the case overlapping duties. Say you have a developer (2174) title and you are doing duties of both a developer and engineer/architect (2173), can you claim for engineer noc?

Regardless of ur designation - CIC will only trust the roles mentioned in the Reference Letters and thats why its so important.
The roles mentioned there shud pertain to the NOC 2173 or 74...whichever u select.
