NOC mismatch: OINP Nomination Certificate says 22222, but my job duties match 21222 — what do I declare on eAPR?

OINP Human Capital Priorities nominee here. Quick situation:

- My OINP draw targeted multiple NOCs, including both 21222 and 22222.
- Company job duties letter says "Test Engineer" (22222), but my actual duties are of SAP System Consultant, which belongs to NOC 21222.
- I submitted my OINP file with job duties w.r.t. 21222, and was successfully nominated since both NOCs(22222 & 21222) were present in OINP draw. however, my Nomination Certificate says 22222 only( and not 21222).
- I am at eAPR stage now, I created my Express Entry profile w.r.t. 22222 and have received ITA now, since my company’s job duties letter belongs to 21222 and not 22222, what should I do?

Should I declare 21222 with a Letter of Explanation, or stick with 22222 to match the certificate? Since both NOCs were in the same OINP draw, does switching put my nomination at risk?

Has anyone switched NOCs between Provincial Nomination and eAPR successfully? Any advice is appreciated
