. Provide on call support for the software applications whenever required.
. Document, upgrade and develop maintenance procedures for software applications.
• Coordinate with the team in the development/support of the software applications

Please conduct a more thorough search in the NOC Web site by using your occupational title or keywords related to your profession in the Quick Search box located at the top left side of the menu bar. This will generate a list of possible occupations. The education, main duties and employment requirements should also correspond to your occupation.



In order for us to provide you with a potential NOC code, we require the following additional information about the occupation:

Thank you for contacting the NOC and have a nice day.


What should I answer for the type of establishment?

I am not sure what your NOC is. But please ensure that while selecting the NOC, the duties and responsibilities mentioned in the NOC should be a close match with the actual duties and responsibilities carried out by you at the respective job. You need not match the duties and responsibilities word by word, but the idea is to have the closest match in terms of the spirit of the duties and responsibilities (at least 60%-70% match).

Also, NOC should be selected on the basis of the match of actual duties and responsibilities carried out by you rather than the designation match in the NOC list.

Please note NOC Team will only give their suggestions, in the end, you will have to decide which one would be the closest fit for you.

Can I safely assume that the NOC team is also responsible for evaluating the work experience of people in Express Entry applications?

If I choose the NOC suggested by the NOC team, is it 100% confirmed that this NOC will be accepted in the express entry application ITA process?
