Office Manager NOC category

[intermingle]

Hi everyone! I am an office manager / executive assistant and had previously applied for an LMO but was denied. I was encouraged to apply for an LMO using a more specific NOC code (administrative project coordinator, which is sort of what I do but also not really).

Could someone provide me with the NOC code for an office manager and the job duties or a link with where to find this out?

It would be so appreciated!!

"office manager' is kind of generic, would need to know what kind of office (business/sector)...

I work in a psychology office and am actually office manager/executive assistant (jack of all trades). But that is my official title.
I previously applied for an LMO which I was denied for but in which the lawyer I worked with my title Project Administration Officer (NOC 1221). Should I re-apply for CEC using this title or just stick to office manager or executive assistant? I am not using the lawyer this time for CEC.

I am really an exec. assistant but I am making below the average salary. Does this make a difference for a CEC application?

Does the NOC for executive assistant correspond to your job duties?

Hi,

Yes, it does for the most part. My boss would happily attest to the fact that these are my duties.
But I earn below what the average salary for exec. assistant is. Should I still apply using this job title?
Thank you so much for any help!

Ah well, the process isn't "find an NOC and then claim those duties." It's "describe your duties and then find the NOC that has the best fit."

So, do you have a written job description? If not, that's the first task you have to accomplish with your boss.

Your lawyer's advice is not without merit.

Do you know the entire process of a LMO?

Jes_ON is giving you good advice.

1) Do not choose a job title you think sounds right, state your actual title. For the purpose of CEC, the title really has no meaning.
2) The next step, is look at your duties as laid our by your EMPLOYER... Find the best NOC that matches the job duties - ignoring title, as it really doesn't matter for this purpose.
3) Are you on a closed or open work permit? If it is closed, then your NOC much match that as is mentioned on the work permit.
4) The reason your LMO was likely declined is because Canada is not short of office managers or exec. assistants... It's not because of the title you put! It's because there isn't a demand for people to do these jobs.

Good luck...
