Hey everyone,
Looking for some advice from people who may have faced a similar situation.
I recently received my ITA for PR, but before accepting it I noticed an issue in my profile. I had selected the wrong NOC code for my work experience.
- Entered NOC: 41402
- Correct NOC (based on duties): 62100
- Job title: Inside Sales Analyst (duties are more aligned with sales/marketing consulting)
The confusion happened mainly because of the job title — some duties overlap, but after reviewing more closely, 62100 is clearly a better fit.
A few important points:
- Our CRS score does NOT change even if I correct or completely remove this experience
- Even without this experience, our score is ~532 (still above cutoff)
- Both NOCs fall under eligible TEER categories
My lawyer suggested accepting the ITA and adding a Letter of Explanation stating it was an honest mistake and correcting the NOC in the application.
I’m considering two options:
Accept ITA + correct NOC + LOE
Decline ITA, fix profile, and wait for next draw
Has anyone gone through something similar?
Would really appreciate any insights or personal experiences 🙏
