Combining Work Experience from Two NOCs

[H7310]

I’m working on my Express Entry (Canadian Experience Class) profile and I need some advice regarding my work experience. I have two Canadian jobs with different NOC codes:

1. Soil Engineer Technician (NOC 22300) – past role (Full Time, Seasonal Contract)
   
   • Worked May 2024 – Nov 2024 and May 2025 – Sep 2025
   • Total ~42 weeks / ~1,260 hours
     
2. Construction Estimator (NOC 22303) – current role
   
   • Started Sep 2025 – Present (~18–20 weeks so far)

My current CRS score is around 516.

I’m unsure how to enter these in my profile. My questions are:

1. Can I combine work experience from two different NOC codes for CEC eligibility?
2. If yes, which job should I list as my primary NOC to maximize eligibility and avoid issues?

 

[CanGoldDigger]

1. Yes.
2. What do you mean by maximizing eligibility?

 

[H7310]

1. Yes.
2. What do you mean by maximizing eligibility?

I meant how shall I enter my details so that my profile doesn't get flagged as ineligible for the draw and refusal chances are also minimized.

are you attempting to qualify under trades? Also assume you have the background required for both NOCs since they are quite different.
