I have been working at an organization outside of Canada for the past 5.5 years. This is enough to claim maximum points for work experience in my express entry application. However, I have held two job roles which fall under 2 NOCs.

The first one held for 4.5 years and this would be my primary NOC. The second which is also my current job role is almost 1 year old. Which of the following routes I should take?

1- Show two separate letters for each NOC.
2- Show one letter and mention job duties for both NOCs
3- Skip the current job role and only show my primary NOC in which I have maximum work experience.

Thanks!

My opinion go for 3..

In personal history mention about the current job with different NOC

Also in LOE mention that in short manner . That since any experince more than 3 has same points i wanted to claim point for NOC xyz hence i have opted for it as primary NOC . However in recent time i have been promoted /changed to different ....in such a way...

Also take some other opinions ,,,

Make your current job your primary occupation. Primary occupation is the one which is the most recent one.

Create two separate entries, one for the first job role, second for the current job role.

You will need two reference letter [for both roles] or can ask your employer to write one reference letter, containing duration and responsibilities of both the roles.

Primary occupation is not necessarily the current occupation, certainly not in my case. I have less than a year experience in current job. In the earlier one, I have 9 years of experience so that will definitely be the primary NOC.

The primary occupation should be the job on which you would want to base your Job Bank Profile. I am assuming that the OP would want to base his Job Bank profile on his current profile.

Job bank is something aside..nothing to do with EE application...except some one who is lucky enough they might find a job which 2 out of 100 probability ...

Yes. But, a lot of people recommend that your primary occupation and job bank occupation should be the same, as the job bank picks the primary occupation from your EE profile.
