Greetings Everybody,

My issue is that my job title is NOC 4012 (Teaching/Research Assistant) and my duties are that of NOC 4011(Professor and Lecturer), i.e. I teach undergraduate and graduate classes, construct their syllabi and grade them, at a university in US. I am currently enrolled in PhD. Which NOC should I use on my express entry profile? I can get letters explaining my duties as NOC 4011, but the title on award letters remain that of NOC 4012.

Suggestions welcome :)

Hi
My advice is to go by documents you have.Because you have to provide documents related to your NOC in eapr stage.please stick to 4012.try to get a Roles and responsibilities letter matching 4012.

Best of luck

To the contrary, this is what CIC website states: (No mention of Job Title- duties must match)

In addition, during that period of employment, the applicant must have

  • performed the actions described in the lead statement for the occupation as set out in the occupational description of the NOC [R75(2)(b)]; and
  • performed a substantial number of the main duties, including all of the essential duties, of the occupation as set out in the occupational description of the NOC [R75(2)(c)].

Pre-Assessed..
Job titles are irrelevant, choose the NOC for which you performed the duties mentioned in your reference letter.

Thank you very much. I have worked as Teaching Associate doing lecturer duties for 6 years in my PhD program. Does it count as FT or PT employment, since we do not get paid hourly.
