NOC CODE FOR PHARMACOVIGILANCE
Hi
As per discussion with few immigration consultant "role and responsibilities" should match 60 % with your NOC code. Is this a criteria that it should match 60%?
I feel my role comes under industrial pharmacist and i had even contacted "Pharmacists' Gateway Canada for international pharmacists" and even they feel it should be industrial pharmacist. Roles and responsibilities mentioned under industrial pharmacist (NOC code 3131) are very broad, each and every point refers to diferent department and my job covers two or three points mentioned which makes around 20% of roles and responsibilities.
Please find the resonsibilities of industrial pharmacist below and i have mentioned department in caps.
Industrial pharmacists perform some or all of the following duties NOC code 3131:
Participate in research for the development of new drugs
