Probably 2121 - you need to look at the job duties and responsibiltiies, not the job titles -
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2011/ProfileQuickSearch.aspx?val=2&val1=2121&val65=research

but your specialty is not biology, you'll have to be more specific about which branch of neuroscience...

Thank you very much. Is NOC the same for Quebec and Canada applications?

I think 4161 fits me better:
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2011/ViewAllTitlesKeyword.aspx?val=4&val1=4161&amp%3bval11=researcher&amp%3bval12=1&amp%3bval13=2&amp%3bval14=&amp%3bval15=1&amp%3bval16=0

4161
natural and applied sciences researcher

LOL, you sent the link for job titles, and I just said to look not at titles but at duties and responsibilities -

But only you will know if it is a better fit ...

 

[niko80]

sorry, i am not experienced in that

2121 is fine when I read the duties it seems to be more appropriate one. I hope if I will not chose correct one it will be corrected by reviewers.

Ok, thanks.

While selecting the NOC, the duties and responsibilities mentioned in the NOC should be a close match with the actual duties and responsibilities carried out by you at the respective job. You need not match the duties and responsibilities word by word, but the idea is to have the closest match in terms of the spirit of the duties and responsibilities (at least 60%-70% match).

Also, NOC should be selected on the basis of the match of actual duties and responsibilities carried out by you rather than the designation match in the NOC list. If you are not sure of your NOC, write to noc@workingincanada.gc.ca with your job title, duties and responsibilities and educational qualification, they will help you find the closest fit.

While submitting your application to CIC, you can attach the email that you receive from NOC Team along with an LOE.

Hi Seniors - can you please offer some insight here... multiple responses are fine.

Got 3 questions -

I have 10 + years experience in Corp Sales Mgmt which includes Admin Mgmt. For this job I used the Corp Sales Mgmt NOC.
I also have 1 year experience in a solely Admin Mgmt position which I used the Admin Services Mgr NOC.
I also listed my primary NOC as Admin Services in my EE profile. And in the OINP profile under - intended job in Ontario.


1) Based on experience in this forum, do you see my primary NOC being a problem with CIC as I only have 1 year in that NOC and 10 years in the Sales NOC?

2) I am awaiting nomination for OINP. Is it that after I get an ITA I have to restate my primary NOC in my PR application and can change it then? And if so, would that contradict my points/OINP application as misrepresentation? Or should I change it now to Corp Sales, will it affect my OINP application although I put my intended job in Ontario as - Operations Manager - Administration Services.
3) For the primary NOC, there is a question on the EE profile, how long have you been qualified to practice/work in this field? Is it that you list since you have started working in that area or is it since you have gotten a degree/qualification in that area (as in work and get the degree during so let us say I worked there for 10 years and got my degree the last 5 years of working at the company - should only put 5 years qualified)?

Bottom line - I have seen all these rejections/queries into NOC recently and I am a bit curious.

Sorry about all the questions.

Thanks!

I've already answered this in another thread.
They're very straightforward question, and you're not going to get a different response.
