NOC Job description/main duties: Exact match needed?

[captain74]

Hi

Can someone please advise what the approach of CIC is to assessing the work ecperience part of the Federal Skilled Worker applications?

If an NOC category is claimed by an applicant then do the job description and the list of main duties listed for the subject category need to be an exact match with the experience of the candidate to claim full points for work experience?

What happens if the description is a 'good match' i.e. more than half the duties listed are matched with the experience directly but not the rest?

Also, what happens if the job title of the candidate is very similar to the titles in the list pubished at the NOC webpage but is not the same as the listed titles?

Anybody with any experience around this?

Thanks

A quick update on this.

I asked the Canadian High Commission in London to clarify this and they responded saying that there needs to be a 'majority' match between the Job Description and Main Duties of the NOC category you claim vis a vis the experience you can evidence.

In essence, if you can articulate your case well then there is light at the end of the tunnel.
