Need NOC help for Pharma QA profile

[Sinu]

Hey, i am also M.pharm working in R&D with same confusion of NOC. Did you get any clarifications for NOC for people working in industry?

@Popat
I got your point but disagree. The NOC 3131 also describes the main duties of industrial pharmacists. Look:

http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p3VD.pl?Function=getVD&TVD=122372&CVD=122376&CPV=3131&CST=01012011&CLV=4&MLV=4

Main duties

Industrial pharmacists perform some or all of the following duties:

• Participate in research for the development of new drugs (Product development / R&D)
• Formulate new drug products developed by medical researchers (Product development / R&D)
• Test new drug products for stability and to determine absorption and elimination patterns (R&D)
• Co-ordinate clinical investigations of new drugs (RA / R&D)
• Control the quality of drug products during production to ensure that they meet standards of potency, purity, uniformity, stability and safety (QC)
• Develop information materials concerning the uses, properties and risks of particular drugs (RA)
• Evaluate labelling, packaging and advertising of drug products (QA)
• Promote pharmaceutical products to health professionals.

Summarizing....
NOC 3131 describe main duties of industrial pharmacist
PEBC told me (by email) that it's not necessary evaluate by PEBC if the intention is working as industrial pharmacists.

I haven't understood (really) why industrial pharmacists that prove experience in pharmaceutical companies can't use NOC 3131.

I haven't apply for EE yet, but based in these informations and my experience in industry (10 years) I intend evaluate by IQAS and use NOC 3131....

Please, let me know your point of view...

Hi guys, I am currently working as a Product Manager in a pharmaceutical company with my academic background is Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. I have plan to be licensed pharmacist once I settle down in Canada, already sent Document evaluation to PEBC, and also request ECA. Meanwhile, I will just use my WES report to create EE first and wait for the ECA from PEBC later. Should I go with 3131 or 0124 (Manager in marketing)?
Thanks a lot.

Hi did u get tour reply???

Industrial pharmacist can use NOC 3131, if they performed the duties under 3131.

However, working in the pharmaceutical industry as RA/QA/QC/Product development/R&D (being registered pharmacist or having graduate/undergraduate degree in Pharmacy) doesn't satisfy the requirement of NOC 3131.
i.e. working as QA in pharma industry, I don't check prescription or dispense the product to customers or any other duties mentioned under 3131. Hence, my application would be denied if I submitted application with NOC 3131.

On the other hand, education document evaluation is debatable topic. If you just apply to WES, it should give you equivalency as bachelor's degree. However, If you apply with PEBC, it should give you equivalency as professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession. You will get more CRS points for professional degree compared to bachelor's degree (126 vs 112 with spouse and 135 vs 120 without spouse).

If you education was evaluated as professional degree, you could still claim NOC other than 3131 (provided that your work duties matches the duties under respective NOC other than 3131).

I hope this clarifies.

Hey could you tell me which NOC to choose for Pharmaceutical QA background??N how to get the experience letter standard format??

Just to update everyone,

I used NOC 2141. As I thought this was the close match to my job duties. I also wrote an explanation letter explaining job duties in detail to justify that aligns with job responsibilities mentioned under NOC 2141.
I just received PPR couple of weeks back.

Hey Please tell me how dis u get your experience letter and is there a whatsapp group for pharma qa profile
