Hello all,
I am currently on PGWP and I got a ITA on FEB. I just need clarification regarding job duties. I am working as Senior Research Assistant but when I look on the NOC website for the duties I should have, it seems to me that my current job responsibilities doesn't really match whats on the website.
As Senior research assistant in the college I'm currently working these are my responsibilities:

- Ability to fly UAV equipment under the most recent requirements from transport Canada
- Enter field data into spreadsheets, carry out data preparation and statistical analyses using programs like SQL Data basing, Python or similar languages to automate data processing.
However based on the NOC website, these should be the duties of Senior Research Assistant:
1254 – Statistical officers and related research support occupations
Statistical officers and workers in related research support occupations provide statistical and research support services to a wide range of businesses and organizations. These workers conduct statistical routines, monitor trends, compile data and prepare charts, graphs, summaries and reports in support of organizational information needs and research activities.
