Hello Everyone,

I am in the process of filling my express entry profile and not sure what to fill under Primary occupation NOC

Here is my work experience:

1-year Canadian experience comes from two skill types NOC A (3 months as NOC 2175) and NOC B (9 months as NOC 2282).
2-year Foreign experience comes from skill type NOC A (2 years as NOC 2172)

I am not sure what I have to opt as my primary occupation here, can someone please advise?

Based on the below example, is my 1-year Canadian experience valid?

NOC 0
NOC 0112 - Human resources managers

NOC A
NOC 2173 - Software engineers and designers
NOC 2174 - Computer programmers and interactive media developers
NOC 2175 - Web designers and developers (3 months)

NOC B
NOC 2281 - Computer network technicians
NOC 2282 - User Support technicians (9 months)

Thank you for your time in advance

The primary occupation is used for checking MEC for FSW and FST.

You can choose any occupation - most people use their most recent one.
Thank you very much for your reply.
Could you please advise whether I am eligible for 1-year canadian work experience ? Considering that my work experiences are different and fall under two skill types NOC A and NOC B?

I did NOC 2282 as my primary NOC.

Please note that I am working under the same NOC 2282 even now
Hi did you get PR with the info above ?
You were ok with less than one year of Primary occupation?
It is confusing me so bad, since someone said she applied PR, CEC class, with primary occupation of 8 months and refused.
the refusal letter said less than one year of primary occupation is concerned so refuse.
please help me. thank you
