NOC 0621 Retail sales supervisors

[JuanArraiol]

Hello people,

I am using 0621 NOC code in my application, and I am getting some points since I worked for 1 year as a Retail Sales Supervisor. I gained this experience in a small family business (Auto parts retail store own by my parents-in-law in Colombia). My question is: is there any limitations on how big a company has to be or anything related? I have everything to prove that I worked there like job letter, tax forms, pay stubs and so on. Also, none of my parents-in-law speaks English, so in the case of an officer calling them to confirm that experience, whats going to happen? I want to highlight that my main NOC code for the application is 9232 (Current job in Canada). The experience under 0621 code was a foreign experience for 1 year.

Thanks

You probably have the wrong NOC, look at 6211 instead.

Your documentation should be fine, as long as the letter contains all the required details -

Hi jes_on

Yes that one makes more sense. Thanks for that. Regarding the fact that my parents in law (the business owners) don't speak English, do you think that is something to worry about?. I have heard that sometimes the immigration officers call the companies to verify information.

This is more likely to happen for in-Canada work experience, but if someone does call, it will likely be from the immigration office serving that locality. For Colombia, there is an office in Bogota, so the language is a non-issue.

Note that if they do not speak English or French, the letter of reference (and likely all supporting documents) will need to be translated...
