Hey guys
Had a question. We entered port of entry as Vancouver while creating the application. Now we want to enter via Toronto. Do we need to get it changed or it doesn't matter from which port you entered?

You don't have a signature, so I don't know what your AOR or country of citizenship is. Everyone outside Canada must give biometrics after 31/12/18.

If you were required to give biometrics or you did not pay your RPRF upfront, we have found that you will have been in IP2 nearly the whole time. Check my signature for a link to explanation of terms. It explains this.

As I was reading my job duties and it seems like the very first NOC (2174) code I selected during ITA seems applicable than the one I changed to post ITA (2173). And no, i didn’t provide an LOE explaining why I changed it.

What is recommended in this situation? I don’t see anything in the notes about job duties. I have ordered another set last week.

Why did you change to 2173 post-ITA? I also had to choose between 2173 and 2174. I eventually went with 2174 because I was able to more easily show achievements/duties that lined up with 2174, even though I do functions of both NOCs.

Can you share a redacted (no private info) version of your work experience letter to see if it really will seem like it lines up with 2174?

If it does need to be changed, I don't know that you have any option other than to request a change to 2174 and explain that when reviewing your job duties, you found that they better line up with 2174 than 2173.

I don't even remember why I updated it. I vaguely remember I got caught up in job titles at the time when I had not discovered/read posts in this forum. Sending you a PM

Just in the interest of getting you more input, I'm replying here. Your job title lines up with 2173, but the duties, as you've correctly identified, are what matter. Your duties to me do line up more with 2174 in my opinion.

My advice would be to raise a CSE requesting a NOC change to 2174, but only you can make that decision. @Shahanastar said @NZ_ozzie has done it, so maybe PM them, unless they reply here.

I would explain that you selected 2173 since your title lines up with that, but your job duties more closely align with 2174.

Nothing you sent me appears to be personally identifying (you redacted all the important parts). I would just post in this thread if I were you to get some more opinions/input from other software devs.
