Confusion with primary NOC code

[Skb1998]

Hi all, I'd would be great to get some insights into these two questions:

1.) My experience in Canada has been a little over one year across many jobs :
Job 1 -- 3.5 months, NOC 21232 – Software Developers & Programmers
Job 2 -- 3.5 months, NOC 21232 – Software Developers & Programmers
Job 3 -- 5 months , NOC 21231 – Software Engineers & Designers
Job 4 -- 7 months approx. , NOC 22303 – Construction Estimators

Job 3 and Job 4 were performed at the same time with 38 and 32 hours per week respectively, will Job 4 still count towards my eligibility towards the category based draws? Also , only the construction estimator job is hourly paid , rest all were salaried.

Just to clarify I hold an MS in Project Management , hence was able to get into construction estimation.

You count up to 30 hours per week and cannot count Jobs 3&4 at the same time (double dipping) so just count Job 4 and that NOC.

I understand that, the system won't automatically count this as two jobs , it is counted as 1 job and my score is also reflective of points from 1 year of work, however my concern is different, as in which NOC should i make as primary and if i have 6 months of experience in trade but i was also doing another job at that time will i still qualify for that category ?

Yes still eligible for trade NOC as outlined in the requirements. Make it your primary NOC if you want but need 6 months experience.

In construction protect management? Not sure how general PM degree with zero construction experience would be sufficient training for such a role. I would assume IRCC is likely to have concerns as well.

OP doesn't say if has degree or diploma in civil engineering or foreign experience as a tradesperson to meet requirements for a NOC.

They don’t but it appears as though they are likely one of the many who have education and experience in IT (or other field) who have a recent 6+ months of experience in the trades to try to qualify for PR.

I have other relevant certifications

Already told you that you are eligible. Not sure what "relevant" certifications you have. When was the last trades draw?

Let’s leave it to IRCC then. But I do have one year of vocational training experience as a drafter and my capstone project in my masters was also construction based.
