Hi,Hi All,
I am new to this forum and I am in the process of creating an express entry profile. I had a few questions that I hope someone here could help me with.
1) My NOC code
I work in Investment Banking Middle Office (Operations) as a Senior Analyst, not sure what my NOC code would be. I think my job duties overlap between 1112 - Financial and Investment Analyst & 1114 - Other Financial Officers. Is there anyone here in the same job profile as me and can possibly point me in the right direction? I visited a couple of consultants and they were not too sure either. I have also emailed The NOC Unit (Department of Employment and SOcial Development Canada), but no luck. They have mentioned that it is my prerogative to choose the most appropriate NOC code and they can only provide the resources but not actually tell me what NOC code would be the right one. I am hoping someone here can assist me in choosing the right NOC because I am really stuck.
2) Work Experience letter
The work experience letter that I have received from HR is in a pre set format which only includes my designation, corporate grade, CTC and start date. With regards to the number of hours, I can provide my offer letter which states that information. However, I am concerned about the most important part i.e job duties. A lot of applicants have said that a letter from a colleague/senior on a plain paper (not letterhead) signed by them along with the above documents should suffice. Just wanted to make sure if that is right?
I am hoping someone could help me with the above queries. Thanks in advance and good luck to all.
1) It is difficult at times but it is indeed only you who can select the correct NOC. The key is to select an NOC in which you have performed the actions in the lead statement and performed the majority of duties. So in your case, look closely at the two codes and select the one in which you feel closely matches your experience.
2) I do not recommend getting a letter from a colleague. Get it from your superior on notarised plain paper (also ensure that the letter closely matches the duties listed in the NOC). Then add the official letter from HR offer letter and your payslips. This will be sufficient.
All the best
