NOC Codes 2174 or 2175 for a full stack Web Developer?

[james89]

Hi everyone,

This is probably more directed at those who have applied for Express Entry with one of these NOC codes but any help is appreciated. I am currently filling out the work experience section of Express Entry profile, but I'm unsure which NOC code to choose based on my job. It is between 2174 (Computer Programmers and Interactive Media Developers) and 2175 (Web Designers and Developers)

I am a full stack web developer, meaning that I'm generally responsible for programming the backend / server-side code for websites and web-based applications (using general purpose languages) as well as coding the front-end user interface with web-specific languages. I have also been involved with integrating content management systems for websites.

The typical requirements for the job are a degree in Computer Science or similar, as long as it involves programming. This seems to be more consistent with NOC 2174, as NOC 2175 says that degrees in Communication and Business are also acceptable. The duties of 2174 also have a particular focus on programming, where as 2175 appears to focus on content development (including graphic design) but still mentions programming. This is where I'm getting confused.

The example job titles listed for both codes are also rather ambiguous. 2174 includes Web Programmer and 2175 includes Web Developer. For the two jobs I've had in this industry, my previous job title was Web Developer and my current title is just Developer. However I'm unsure of whether my duties and skills fall more into 2174 or 2175.

I'm wanting to make sure that I pick the right one. If I do fall into both categories, I would rather pick the one which would be in higher demand. Can anyone advise on how I should proceed?

Thanks

You're 2175 I believe. 2174 is for more traditional forms of programming such as with OO models. Since you are a full stack web developer, you fall in 2175.

NOC doesn't matter, you should choose right NOC based on your job duties. I was a Full Stack Software Engineer and I chose 2174 and applied for OINP as my job duties matched with NOC 2174. For current job, I am a big data developer and also chose same.

Hey James89,

You are belongs to 2175 Noc Code. The reason is you belongs to all type of coding requirement for web related content no matter it 's back end or front end. The main stream is web related content you are deal with it.
see this point : Plan, design, write, modify, integrate and test Web-site related code
Plus you are also dealing with database too. Hence, You definitely fall on 2175 category.

My role is software developer, and I am dealing with Mobile development plus Window based development feature. However, there is no general term about mobile development, it is essentially coding , testing, debugging, designing etc that we passed on all such stages during development process.

so my vote goes to 2175 for Full Stack Web Developer. As @sms_1190 has mentioned, your duties should matched with those 2174 or 2175 category essentially more important

Good Luck!

2173 can fit

 

[popoxee]

I am a full stack dev, and I am actually using 2171

NOC does not really matter that much, as long as it is related to your job duties...
2170+ fit most of software/IT people
