I am planning to apply with NOC 2173. Do you see any problem with the letter/NOC code? Should it be NOC 2174?

I saw a few refusal threads here because of the wrong NOC code/job duties. Please review my letter and give your inputs. @avj @mrandmrs

My deadline to submit PR application is in 10 days. I am attaching salary slips, yearly tax forms(W2s), offer letter, increment letter, appraisal letter along with this letter.

Thanks,
Prashanth

Instead of Canada visa application, can they change it to Canadian immigration? I don’t know if it matters that much but just as a precaution. Everything else looks good to me. 2173 should be fine.

Thanks for your review. I changed NOC to 2174 as the description and job duties match even more closely. Attached a copy of H1B support letter written by my employer to USCIS as additional proof (This has even detailed job description with time split up etc.,) Attached around 15 payslips, W-2’s for all three years submitted and my EE applications. Lets hope for the best.

As this is my past employer its difficult/time consuming to go back and change visa to PR in letter. Submitted it as it is.

Hello, I recently submitted my application with NOC 2173 code. I am working as a software engineer (Full Stack- Rails, React, PG, ElasticSearch). The role does mention computer-based systems including mobile applications. Although computer based-systems are a little confusing.

Just wanted to get your opinion on if I selected the right NOC or I am in trouble:

The responsibilities are:

  • Building and maintaining a suite of internal products for content creators
  • Develop and maintain our backend code base, databases, and servers
  • Writing React components and building our next.js served to react apps
  • Contribute to architecture discussions
  • Work closely with the design team to ensure clarity about each spec

Hi @prash88 and @sp2410. can you please let me know how your application went? I am in a similar situation and the job duties in my reference letter relate with 4-5 Main duties out of 8 listed in NOC description page of CIC website . It surely is in line with the Lead statement. 2174 is my NOC. would that suffice? @avj @mrandmrs any thoughts here. Thanks

Don’t know too much about your tech stack but it looks correct. The important part is that your supervisor/HR should be willing to sign off on the experience letter that has your duties and responsibilities which should match NOC description to a large extent, even if it is not word to word match.

See above

Thanks @avj
