Need guidance on primary NOC selection

[vasoni]

Hi,

I'm an IT profesional and I have about 7 years experience as Software engineer, 3 years experience as a Project Manager, 2 years as a Technical Architect and another 2 years as a Senior Technical Architect (Leadership role). I plan to apply through Express entry and I'm confused on what would be the right primary NOC I should mention in my application as the NOC guidelines doesn't specify the code for Software Technical Architectural roles. I'm wondering if it qualifies as 0213. I certainly would be specifying 0213 in my work history but for my primary NOC for the Express entry application, should I mention 0213 or 2173 if I should be applying for the Senior Technical Architectural role.

Could someone guide me on this please?

Thanks

Generally the primary NOC is the one that you have maximum experience on, to gain maximum CRS points (of 3 yrs max). Doesn't matter as long as your roles & responsibilities in the reference letter matches with the NOC, which is more important parameter for acceptance of the application.
