Urgent! Can Change NOC 2173 to 2174 after application submitted?

[tun001757]

Hi all,

I am a PHP web programmer in Singapore and one of my job title is Software Engineer and currently job title is Analyst Programmer. When I filled the form, I chose 2173 Software engineers and designers as a my NOC without finding out details of 2173.

Now I read details of 2174 Computer programmers and interactive media developers and it looks like perfect NOC of me.

My application was received by CIC on 9-July and I think it will still take 1 or 2 months to get response from CIC.

Anyone have any idea, PHP Web programmer can go under 2173 or is it possible for me to change my NOC by sending the new imm0008 form to CIC?


My duties are as follow:

• Perform the full software development lifecycle from Analyst, Design, Implementation, testing, documentation through to presentation, user training and ongoing support and trouble-shooting.

• Design and create Staff portal and Student portal for the institution

• Create applications and forms for teaching and learning

• Implement and maintain Leave Management & Document sharing application

• Develop and maintain technical documentations for existing and new application

• Provide technical assistance and support for applications

• Implement PHP scripts to automate the routine tasks (Eg. Backup/update data, sending reminder email etc)



Anyone have same issue like me? please help.

Regards,

No - it's not possible to change NOCs after your application has been received by CIC.

Even if you could, it would be a bad idea to change to NOC 2174. NOC 2174 will most likely cap once CIC finishes processing applications received until mid June.

You chose your NOC without even learning its job duties? Mind-boggling.

For your sake I hope your letters are convincing enough for 2173.

If you want to apply under a new NOC you will need to submit a new application. 2174 is long since capped.
