Changing NOC after ITA

[sk179]

Hi all,
I am part of the draw that took place on 22nd February. While preparing my application - I started going through the details of the NOC code under which i have given my entire experience.
It is over 6 years of experience under NOC 2171 as part of the profile.
While going through the details of it, I realized that while I am a "Business Analyst", my role is more of a software designer (no programming) than "Business Systems Analyst".
As an example, I worked as a Product Analyst to design mobile applications (collecting requirements, creating solution document, wireframes) and then handing over to development team for execution.

1. Would this come under 2173?
2. If yes, can i possibly change the NOC code now as part of application. I have not moved forward on the application yet on CIC portal - so not sure if this is editable. If not editable, then does someone know the alternate?

Else, based on my experience certificates which detail the above, what would i need to do?

Well in non-expert opinion, I don't think you should accept this ITA. If it would be have been remotely related I should have explained in LOE, but it looks NOC is very different. Also, I am not an expert in IT, but just to cite an example, 4163 - BD, Market Researchers, and Consultants, I could change to 0125 which includes Market Research Manager (0125 is just NOC when applicant with 4163 is promoted or have higher number of work experience) but not to 4162 (Economists)

I hope this makes sense

As long as you are not a provincial nominee and you have all the supporting documents to support the new NOC, you can update your NOC in the post ITA forms and explain the same in the LOE.

As Stanlee suggested I would go with an LOE... NOC codes really take a lot of time to read and its very understandable that you have found a better one....also some people change it after getting their reference letters from their employers...its better to change it and explain than getting a rejection... I am doing the same thing and changing my NOC by the way... go for it...

Thanks all.
I will do the same and let everyone now how it goes - after approximately 6 months i guess

Hey Stanlee,

Further to this query, I need a suggestion here. I have selected NOC 0125., which is similar to some part of the job I do. However, point 1 of 6552 is exactly the job i do. Unfortunately, the agent then whom I was working under convinced me that this is the perfect NOC code (0125).

I have now received the iTA. Is there a possibility to have this changed to 6552. If yes, what would the process involve. I have been employed with the same firm since the time I had applied for the EE.

Could you also elaborate on the LOE, what would it stand for.

Regards,
Felix

Hi @raindrops, while reviewing NOC changes, I noticed that you have visited all of these forums. Your experience and insights would be very helpful on this.
1. What action did you take? Modified with a LoE OR Declined the ITA and made changes?
2. Did you face any issues with the PR/ faced any issues?

Hi, I also changed my NOC after receiving ITA. All I did was explain in my LOE that I felt this new NOC was a better match and it’s still within the acceptable skill level. I got approved 2 months 3 weeks. Do not decline your invitation.
