Hello,
I am applying for express entry under the FSW program.
I have a bachelors's degree in Acoustics (NOC 2132), and 3 years full time work experience in CNC Programming (NOC 2233)
I am choosing to use the CNC programming as my primary NOC as i have the work experience in this field, but i am concerned that my previous studies do not match up with or qualify me for this type of work:
The employment requirement section for CNC Programmer says
"A college diploma in manufacturing technology and/or trade certification and experience in machining and tooling or metalworking is required for CAD-CAM/CNC programmers"
I do not have the described diploma- i was hired on the basis of the programming, mathematics and engineering skills from my degree and informally trained on the job. I was proficient in the role after a period of a few months, and continued as a competent CNC programmer for 3 years for two companies.
In one place i read that applicants are not required to prove that they meet the employment requirement section of their NOC.
I also read that there is mobility between engineering professions at lower levels.
Should i be concerned that my primary NOC is in a different field to my qualification?
