Hi All,

I am planning to apply for immigration under PhD stream category and I need to confirm a few details of the NOC code I should apply with.

I worked as a full-time research assistant in a research institute in my home country for 18 months and my main duties include conducting literature reviews, lab experiments and preparing scholarly publications. I think the best NOC code for my case should be 4012 since all the duty descriptions in 4012 match very well with me. However, I was not enrolled in a university or college program as required by 4012 during my employment and the research institute I was working with is not a typical university or college though it has been authorized to grant higher education degrees including Master's and PhD. Therefore, I am confused here. Could you please confirm that whether I can use 4012 as my NOC code?

Thank you all in advance.
