Hi guys.
I have a question and would appreciate any help regarding the following situation.

I am not sure which NOC to choose, 4031 or 4032 (teacher). Main duties are almost identical. There is "junior high school teacher" under 4032 and "teacher of mathematics" under 4031, so I don't know which to choose. My question is: What will they (administrators?) do if they decide that I have chosen the wrong NOC, even though 4031 and 4032 are almost identical? Will they accept my application (post ITA, hopefully) and just change the NOC, or reject it, ban me or something similar?

I am really frustrated and scared to make a wrong decision. Please, any word of advice would be very helpful.
First, get a reference letter from your school with all your duties or responsibilities listed. Then print out Lead statement and duties and responsibilities for both the NOC 4031 and 4032. After that check your reference letter with the duties on the NOC. Whichever matches more, you have to choose that one. If you still cannot decide, read the lead statement of both the NOC's, you can find out which matches the best. Another option would be to look at job titles mentioned in the NOC. It is upon you to prove via reference letters or any other documents that you did a substantial number of duties mentioned in the NOC AND your duties and responsibilities are consistent with the Lead Statement.

Wrong NOC might result in your application being processing time being delayed and might lead to rejection altogether. If you have not misrepresented anything about your job, then there is no question of the ban.

Thanks a lot for your response. However, as I said, 4031 and 4032 are identical regarding main duties, which I covered all and I have a ton of contracts, certificates and annual plans as a prove, besides reference letter. Since my school is called Elementary (in our educational system, in Canada it is middle-school), I will go with 4032 and send LoE. Still, I am very anxious.

You're fine then. Don't worry. By the way, when did you get the ITA? You should have planned it before getting ITA, that would've helped.

I am preparing for it quite a wile, but IELTS was insurmountable obstacle for me, I cleared it from 7th attempt in 10 months. Now I realize how one small thing can disrupt over a year of process.

I have 3 previous employers. One of the employers provided the work exp. with all needed details except Salary. That employer has policy not to disclose that on work exp letter. I have e-mail from them, can I use that on LOE?
Not having salary info. on one of the work exp. letters will make some issues? The work exp. letters from other employers look good.

Congrats!!! What has changed to increase the 200? Mind if you shed some light on it?
Thank you :)
I finally (after more than 10 months...) got my ECA from ICAS. Because I have a PhD, that earned me 150 pts under "Core / human capital factors" and another 50 under "Skill Transferability factors".
