Bookkeeper in Canada claiming foreign work experience as accountant

[MMUNEEBA]

Hello, Can you advise me how to approach this problem? I have more than 5 years foreign work experience as an accountant, but my work experience in Canada is as a bookkeeper.

Can I claim previous work experience as bookkeeper NOC 12200? I heard that the accountant can also perform bookkeeper tasks, so it's fine this way. also accountant is a senior position to bookkeeper so it makes sense to claim points. what does IRCC exactly say about this? i cannot seem to find exact guideline on this one.

As long as you can back it up with a proper education credentials, work experience letter adhering to IRCC guidelines, paystubs, income statement, tax certificate, etc. I suppose you should be good to choose the accountant NOC!

But I want to use that experience as a bookkeeper not as an accountant.
