I like to apply in this category.
My designation is Computer Operator.
In HRDC NOC 2281 "Digital Computer Operator" is mentioned.
Can I be eligible as Computer Operator Designation in FSW under NOC 2281 ?
Can you provide Exp Letter describing Duties ?
Awaiting for your reply
Thanks

Hi Dipen

If ur really interested then please apply quickly who knows the cap gets filled.

My job duties would be diff from urs as i am applying as a system admin.

I've applied under NOC 2281, my application was received on the 10th July 2014.

Now it's just a matter of waiting to see what happens.

Good luck to you all!

What i read is priority is given to those who are in canada with arranged employment...Points i guess doesnt matter the only thing is we have to score 67pts...

 

[nishesh3003]

Indeed! it is filling up slowly!

What are the criteria on which they give priority to each application? based on highest points gained or what? I calculated 68 points only. Will that affect my acceptance or processing?

For FSW1 NOC Category its on a first come first serve basis.

You need to score 67 points. Anything beyond that does not increase your chances of getting through. Its not University

No harm in having extra points though.

Hi All,

I have sent my documents on 27th July 2014 under 2281 - Network Support Analyst. I was working on this position 7 years back, and currently into Insurance. Hoping the application reaches CIC before the CAP is reached. What I have noticed is, application processed in the first phase is very very slow.

Good luck to all of you who have applied. ;D ;D ;D

Hi there,
My hubby and I are both in IT industry. Based on the Detailed Occupational Structure of Canada, NOC 2281 also includes the title data center operator/server administrator. My hubby falls under this category but we're having doubt whether he fits into this NOC since the main title states Network technician.

Any advice please? He has more than 6 years of experience as server administrator.

Thanks.

Title is not relevant. Just match the job duites in your reference letter.

Your profile looks like 2282 to be honest (I think you know that too).

But then your Letter includes so many keywords associated with 2281 that I believe you may be able to pass it off as a 2281.

Dear nishesh3003, thank your for your comment. You are right, and thats the concerned point here. I have already submitted a letter with my app back in July which looks more like 2282 and now submitting this letter (with additional sub-points in it). The first letter had only the main bullets and not the sub-bullets in them.

I believe my job had both 2281 & 2282 duties combined. What is your say on it? Should i forward this to CIC now?

As I said - there are a lot of "keywords" which fall into the NOC description for 2281. And there are duties that transition neatly between 2282 and 2281 so I think that is justifiable.

If this is your "revised" Ref. Letter - which one is your original ref. letter ? You may want to be careful to not introduce considerable deviation between the 2 letters as far as Duties are concerned.

This is predominantly 2282. I think apart from including the revised letter - give a logical explanation of 'why' you're doing so and you should be fine.
