NOC Code Confirmation

[gurpreetkaur_21]

Hi Everyone,

I am confused about the NOC Code I need to apply in. I am a SAS Programmer working for a Banking client. My responsibilities involve creating campaigns (marketing offers) for different international markets. I believe I either fall in 2173 or 2174 NOC as per my duties. Below are my duties:

1. Build SAS datasets from clinical database.
2. Develop SAS macros, templates and utilities for data cleaning and reporting.
3. Utilize banking guidelines to build datasets.
4. Communicate with an internal team to create deliverables for different international markets.
5. Write SAS programs to generate tables, listings, and figures and analysis datasets.
6. Prepare statistical summary reports.
7. Communicate with stakeholders.
8. Utilize SAS programming skills required for banking analysis and reporting.
9. Perform quality control on final reports.
10.Develop SAS coding and table templates for preparing, processing and analyzing banking data.

My qualifications are: B.Tech in Information Technology and Masters in Marketing.

I would really appreciate all the help.

Did you check the NOC search tool? You won't find an exact match, choose the closest to your job description

Yes, I did search the tool. But I am confused between 2173 and 2174. Not able to decide which one should I apply in

Will do. Thank you for your help.

I have another question. For the reference letter from current employer, does it have to be on the company's letterhead only?
