No particular NOC Code Available : PLEASE HELP

[kamatmahesh]

Hello fello Forum members,

Hope you guys are doing good and enjoying Canada games at the Olympics. Go Canada !

I am about to begin my application for applying PR under the CEC class and have been frantically trying to look up the NOC Code for my previous job.

My previous designation was Project Analyst which was mainly involved in managing the Project Finances which is a close match with a Project Controls Analyst who manages the scope, schedule and budget for a project from start to end.

I have tried all different kinds of search techniques on the HRSDC website, however I may not be doing it the right way. I am copying a short blurb of roles/responsibilities here , it would help you to understand what my duties were at the job.

Your help will be really appreciated. Thank you so very much !!

I too am having a hard time finding the "perfect" NOC code for my occupation. First try searching by using your title and not job duties. If that does not work, you can always contact the HRSDC Enquiry team, details are available on the HRSDC website. They will be able to assist you.

By reading these duties, it appears to be project accountant falls within 1111. In particular, you had involved in project budget, cost control procedures. I think you are more inclined to finance side other than project management.

As the other member said, e mail HRSDC to verify.

Sometimes the NOC varies by industry, your job description gives no hint whatsoever of what kind of "projects" you're involved in. Construction? IT? Social Programs? A lead sentence about what the company does goes a LONG way to helping us (and CIC) understand the context -

Surely Jes. I used to work for an energy conglomerate called ATCO who are based out of Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta.

I was a part of Atco-Itek which is the technology service provider to all the different businesses ATCO is involved in namely ATCO Gas(Gas Distribution), ATCO Electric , ATCO Logistics, yada yada and few other external clients who are into oil and gas - atco.com/Our-Companies/

Serving a diverse group of corporate clients operating around the world, our offerings include: enterprise asset management, end-to-end management services, hosted solutions, business critical applications, and customer care and billing.

My job was to provide financial control on the various IT projects that I-tek undertook to support these businesses. Hope that answers your question !

 

[Nikki30588]

Yup! that is the correct email address.

Project accountant mainly is responsible for creation of financial reports specifically designed to track the financial progress of the projects which can be used by managers (internal stakeholders) to aid project management including project costing, budgeting, managing the WIP costing and project profit and loss accounts etc. cost control is the key to the project accountant.

From the description of these job duties, they are similar to the nature of this occupation.

 

[GHD1213]

Furthermore, project accountants differs from the standard accountants which aims to manage the financial progress on the organizational level, i.e. by department. The description of thus NOC is generic applied to standard accountants. Therefore, the best thing is to let HRSDC to confirm. But, I did not see other codes closer to it.
