Dear All,
Sorry to post on a subject which probably has already been covered. I preferred to start a fresh post to expose my problem and any specifics.
I am a mechanical engineer with 2.5 years experience in the field. In addition, I have >5 years of experience as application /sales engineer.
In my EE application, I selected primary NOC as 2132 (mechanical engineer - Skill A) and claimed CPS points for 3 years of experience against that NOC.
My work experience summarizes as follows:
- 5 years as application engineer NOC code 6121 (Sales engineer - SKILL B)
- 2.5 years as NOC code 2132.
After receiving ITA in Sep-2017 (447 points), I now realize that under primary NOC 2132 - I don't totalize exactly 3 years of experience and I am concerned my eAPR would be rejected because of thus. Instead, if I switch to primary NOC as 6121 this will have the 3 years of relevant experience covered.
My questions;
1/ - Is a change to primary NOC after ITA acceptable especially as it involves going from skill A to skill B ?
2/ - Is it wise/ worth the risk to decline the ITA, have the primary NOC corrected and submit EE again ?
Any suggestion would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
PS: my job as application engineer overlaps with the mechanical engineer one, of course not enough to fall under a unique NOC code. Anyway, if it can help, I can also ask from past employers reference letters that put the emphasis on mechanical engineering skills.
