NOC 1123 Job Duties

[CharlieK]

Hello,

I am planning to apply for Canada PR under NOC 1123 "Professional Occupations In Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations". Currently I am working as a Manager-Search Engine Marketing and have 2+ years of work experience in SEO, SEM & Social Media Marketing, Marketing Strategy, Email Marketing, Press Releases etc. But most of the job duties under 1123 are related to Public Relations in which I do not have any experience. There are 17 duties under this category and I have most of the duties related to marketing and advertising (8 to be exact). Will this effect my application? Or are the duties concidered based on each category ( Marketing, Advertising or Public Relations individually) ?

Thank you!
CharlieK

Hi, job duties in noc official description relate to more than pr. No worries. If you match with most of the duties I think you are fine and can apply. Read it through once more and you'll see.

I'm working in brand marketing and have applied.
