Hello,

Currently I works full time permanent position in staples as a Technology consultant. I am planning to apply for my PR by next year or before ending this year. Before that I need to clarify my current job categorized as NOC level B or C. When I type Technology consultant in their website it says zero results. I wish if I can apply under 6221 which is technical sales specialist - wholesale trade. Most of the job duties can be matched under this title but have some confusion my work place is a retail and not a wholesale trade. :-( I am getting paid just above the minimum wage.
