Hi,

I hope someone can help me. Since CIC changed the rules to 12 month work experience in Canada, I have become eligible to apply because I came to Canada in Jan 2011 under my first IEC. I worked from March until December in two different companies but doing the same job (Administrative Assistant). NOC Code 1241-B.

I then moved back to Ireland in December and returned to Canada in April 2012 when I got issued my second IEC visa. I returned to work as an Administrative Assistant in a Sports Medical Clinic and Fitness centre. I still work there. This allows me to have had over 12 months work experience. I started working at $13 per hour but now I work $14. I have worked a lot of overtime too where my salary has increased some weeks to $19.50-$21 per hour.

My question is I don't know what NOC code to go under, NOC 1241-B (Administrative Assistant) or NOC 1243-B (Medical Secretary). I don't work in a Doctor's office, as the clinic I work in is mainly Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Naturopath, Nutrition and Massage Therapy with a sports facility attached.

I have a degree in Life Science so this fits well with my current role. I never did a medical exam either for my IEC, but because I'm not in a medical profession, I assume this is ok.

My other question is that when submitting my application, should I attach pay slips aswell, although I don't have all of my pay slips. I do have my T4's for 2011 from both employers. Is this enough?

Another thing since my application won't be sent in until end of February as I am awaiting english test results, and my visa expires in Aoril, when can I apply for my work extension so I can have implied status, as I await to hear from my first stage approval for PR, as I need to apply for my bridging visa and I can't lose status. Does the application for bridge visa go in with the application for PR or is this separate?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Even, I'm planning to do a 2 year Diploma Course in Medical Office Administration.
However, I'm pretty confused with the NOC codes, Whether, it is NOC A or NOC B.
