Job Titles are incredibly subjective (I work in HR and my hiring/operational managers try to give people random job titles that have nothing to do with their job responsibilities all the time). I believe Canada is aware of this and that's why they have the NOC Code system.

My understanding is that it's the JOB FUNCTIONS AND DUTIES that matter, not the job title, because of the subjectivity of assigning titles. Choose the NOC Code that matches your job responsibilities, regardless of the job title.

My job title is also under the exclusion list for my true NOC Code (based on the job functions and responsibilities) but that's because, based on Canada's assessment, I have the 'wrong' job title (based on a review of the responsibilities and functions). Look at the description for your job title that's on the exclusion list - if your functions and responsibilities don't match it, then that's not your job, regardless of the title.

If it really concerns you though, attach an LOE (letter of explanation) pointing to the fact that your job functions (as outlined in your employment reference letters) match the NOC code you selected, and asking that they disregard the job title to prevent any confusion.
Hello - My NOC Code matches 2282, based on my role and responsibilities - it is a match.

However, none of the Job Titles in my Offer-Letters have any of the example job titles for # 2282.

The job-titles which I have are (Assc. s/w engineer, s/w engnr, senior s/w engnr, Technical Lead).

Since my Job Title is a big mismatch to my Role & Duties, I need your help in identifying:-
1. should I go ahead and enter the Job Title as is there in my Offer Letter? Or I have to pick one from the example list?
2. I read LOE (letter of explanation) is mentioned above. What is the format of this letter? We have to present this letter at the time of ITA? In my case, is it needed?


The titles in the Example List are:-
  • analyst, systems technical support
  • call centre agent - technical support
  • client support representative - systems
  • computer help desk representative - systems
  • computer help desk supervisor
  • hardware installation technician
  • hardware technical support analyst
  • help desk agent, technical
  • help desk analyst - systems
  • help desk supervisor, computer
  • help desk technical agent
  • help desk technician
  • installation technician, hardware
  • installation technician, software
  • PC (personal computer) support analyst
  • software installation technician
  • software technical support analyst
  • supervisor, technical support
  • systems support representative
  • systems technical support analyst
  • technical help desk agent
  • technical support analyst - systems
  • technical support supervisor
  • user support technician

The job titles don't really matter; only the job duties and responsibilities matter - use the job title that you have in the offer letter (you wouldn't want a discrepancy to occur if IRCC contacts your employer to verify the details).
Letters of explanation are something you can submit AFTER you get an ITA (when you're completing the eAPR (electronic application for permanent residency). It is optional and you only need to prepare one if you feel there is something in your application that you need to provide clarification on to IRCC - it is written in the format of a formal letter, and is unique to each situation (so there's no template available) - generally, it's advised to keep letters brief, clear, polite and appreciative.

The key thing is the job duties. The organizational designations are interchangeable. Match the duties in the NOC to the duties outlined in your job description and use that NOC.
Hey there member,
what if the duties on the exp letter matches two nocs. What needs to be done.

No never , titles are like dog names.

the visa officer is only going to match what is mentioned in the lead statement and duties and responsibilities of the NOC.

Even employment requirements are not to be considered
