Hi,madhouseontheshore said:Doesn't matter if you don't want to pursue career in that occupation. Just file your application with NOC that matches your most number of working years in recent past and make sure you can produce reference letters with the details of your experience that match closely with the respective NOC JD. Just go with whatever your strongest points are in your EE profile. You can take a different profession once in Canada. Of course the advise is not to decieve CIC but you can always make up your mind what to do once you've landed. I haven't heard from anyone that their NOC are matched with their Canadian experience when they apply for Canadian passport 4-5 years later on.
And btw you are not bound to accept a job offer from Job Bank. Nobody gets a job offer just by registreing with the job bank anyways. Most if he jobs posted there are actually losted elsewhere on other job portals and you need to actively apply before you can score an interview appointment. It is a failed tool and has been reduced to merely collecting few stats. Even CIC seems to be acknowledging this.
This advise is correct. You must select the NOC that best suites the work experience you have claimed. You are free to change careers once you are in Canada.
I can confirm - the Job Bank is crap.
Al the best.
