Role and responsibilities we must include in experience letter for NOC : 2173 (Software Engineer)

The initial response was received on the same day and I got the scanned reference letter within 2 days. I would suggest that you follow up on your request since it was pretty quick for me. Keep your PM’s or DM’s Infy email address ready since they verify with them before issuing the letter.

Wait a week or so and email again.

Hello All,

Need some feedback / suggestions on my NOC.

Both 1 and 2 are same roles but was working as a contractor for many months and later got converted full time hence the title is different

  1. Tibco Developer: Mixture of NOC 2173 and 0213

My role was a mixture of Fixing issues, overseeing development, coordinating with product team to gather requirements and stakeholder management

  1. Software Engineer

  2. Scrum Master / Official Title - Senior Developer - Mixture of NOC 0213 and 2171

Managed two software teams building APIs, also performed the duties of business/system analyst due to resource shortage.

  1. Project Manager

Even in other roles that I worked it was a mixture of 0213 and 2171 - I have been into project management and on the job had to wear multiple hats.

I have the following questions

  • I understand that roles dont matter but the responsibilities but each NOC has titles listed, what if the responsibilities I performed are in a different NOC and the title is not what I did - Should I just use the ones matching with responsibilities.

  • is 0213 the right one for project management

  • I have tried to get a letter from my previous employer but no luck so have the email conversation ready is that sufficient along with LOE. i dont have any colleagues as well to provide unofficial letter. I have an experience letter provided to me long back.

  • I have reached out to my previous manager who had asked a format for providing unofficial letter - Could you guys help if you already have a sample letter that I can use also does the job duties mentioned in NOC match exactly in the letter?

Thank you

You can take any template online and convert it to a reference letter as long as it satisfies the CIC’s requirements given here.

Your job duties and responsibilities on the letter should match the ones given on NOC but remember it’s a human reading the letter not a machine. So they don’t have to match word for word but it should make sense to any human reading the letter. Go through the NOC description that you choose and draft the letter accordingly; you know your experience best. Draft it like any other reference letter you would draft.

Try to collect all official documents that you can for the job position: job offer letter, paystubs, resignation letter. Usually companies have alumni services (e.g. Infosys has a alumni portal where you can raise a request for resignation letters, reference letters etc.). Connect with former managers/colleagues on LinkedIn to see if they can help in any way. And of course the refusal email from HR for LoE.

0213: classified as skill-level 0.
2171: classified as skill-level A.
Both should be OK. But remember you only need 3 years of experience to get maximum points.

Thank you anshul. Appreciate your response

@mrandmrs . Thanks posting email address for reference letter from infy .

Can anyone share the sample reference letter format please

Once you send an email to the Infy email address, they will provide you with a template. Check the responsibilities under the NOC code under which you would be applying and try to match your work responsibilities with those.

Thanks !! I got response from Infy HR, trying to get manager approval now :slight_smile:

Hi,

I was working at Infosys and got a roles and resp letter from them. I have 2 questions:

  1. The roles and responsibilities letter states only my last role. Is that okay?
  2. I was a SSE when I left (NC 2173). Can anyone help me understand if the following 5 points on my letter make me qualify for 2173

Engage in dialogue with client to identify and document requirements
 Work in an onshore-offshore model with scrum & Agile and Functional methodology
 Lead the team from offshore and come up with test scenarios and end to end testing of the system
 Document and knowledge transfer to the team
 Identify bugs, reporting it to onsite team and tracking it to completion.
The technologies / platforms that she worked on were: JAVA

Thank you! Your response will be of much help.

it would be better to get listed all titles/designations you have held in that job, if they are required for claiming the points necessary for 3+ years.
treat each title as a different job.

the JD looks fine, make sure it lists the number of hours or full time.

Thank you for your response.
At Infosys, they give the letter only for the last designation. Although they don’t mention the hours, they mention full-time on the letter.
Do you think I should get a notarized letter stating all the roles I held at Infosys and get it signed by a colleague?

Thanks

Not sure if notarization would be needed, others may comment. But yes a letter from colleague in that case will definitely help.

Hi
Infosys reference letter just has my last designation (Technology Analyst) mentioned in the letter. But I am developer (2173/74) , so will the title be a problem. Also, should I submit promotion letter ? Please advise as infy doesn’t mention all the roles (SE SSE and TA)

Job title does not matter as long as the responsibilities listed match the selected NOC.

@avj @mrandmrs Hello Guys,
I got NOI from Ontario and this is for NOC 2173. I have selected this NOC based on the recommendation of my consultant because i was not much aware about this. As per my profile i am a SAP Consultant and title is Advanced App Engineering Analyst. My roles and responsibilities mostly match with NOC 2171 but i can obtain the Reference letter for matching responsibilities with 2173.
Can i proceed to submit application in this scenario or shall i not take any risk? Also, could someone please help me to review my reference letter ?

Hi @scroo89 @Prateek. Am in a similar situation. What did you guys finally proceed with?

Designation doesn’t matter if you have the roles and responsibilities mentioned as required.

Hi,
I have a question. I am thinking to apply under a pnp program. I am confused about work experience. I have worked as a lecturer in the same institution. Because there is a gap between two sessions, so my work was not continous. It was from july 2013-april 2014 and again july 2014-april 2015. Afterwards, i moved to another country where i worked in a supermarket from june 2017 till march 2020. Which work experience should i use? Can i use both work experiences to increase my crs scores?

I don’t think you get points for multiple NOCs.
You can mention multiple NOCs but get point for only one (whichever you mention to be your NOC)

Thanks Nik for your valuable reply. It’s really helpful for me.
