You can use any of the clinics on their websites that you feel comfortable with. You are not restricted any particular one. Finally I believe they are all the same.

My people please advise me oh. Financial accountant with the private sector and financial accountant with the goverment sector which will cic rate higher. I don't think they really care so long as your work experience can be verified by your superior or HR department. Working for private or government isn't the issue. Both sector obviously require the services of this professionals.also what makes you qualify for NOC 0111 as against NOC 1111 are they equally rated? am about submitting in march and trying to be very careful Wish I could help.

All jobs on the list of 38 are eligible for fast-track processing under new FSW-new rules, and are treated equally as far as i know. What makes you qualify is not the job title per-se, but the job functions and duties. 0111 is for financial manager duties, and 1111 is for financial accountant duties. Ofcourse, in this case, you can have some overlap, and that is OK. But for us in 9ja - where we place too much emphasis on certifications, there's a mad rush for ICAN/ACCA, but only a very small fraction of qualified associates actually go on to practice the core accounting duties for a considerable period of time. ICAN/ACCA is usually a catapult into managerial finance functions, so i would imagine that there would be a lot of qualified accountants who only have say 1-2years under 1111 , followed by several years under 0111.

So pls go thru the NOC codes for 1111 and 0111, see which one closely matches your job functions. It is also ok if your career trajectory starts with 1111 and leads into 0111, just put the dates that reflects the natural progression eg about 2yrs under 1111, followed by 8yrs under 0111. In the NOC matrix, CiC has classified the codes acording to skill types and levels. To you and i, 0111 may seem superior to 1111 in terms of management heirarchy, but CiC does not discriminate between the two when it comes to points. They both get equal weightings as far as points is concerned. CiC acknowledges the "higher ratings" in their classifications as you have one starting with 0(0111) and the other starting with 1(1111), CiC classifies 0111 as managerial "skill type O" whilst 1111 is professional "skill level A" and CiC also mentions that "several years of experience in 1111 may be required to be employed under 0111 but this has no bearing whatsoever on points. They both get treated equally as far as points is concerned.
