I'm an IT profesional and I have about 7 years experience as Software engineer, 3 years experience as a Project Manager, 2 years as a Technical Architect and another 2 years as a Senior Technical Architect (Leadership role). I plan to apply through Express entry and I'm confused on what would be the right primary NOC I should mention in my application as the NOC guidelines doesn't specify the code for Software Technical Architectural roles. I'm wondering if it qualifies as 0213. I certainly would be specifying 0213 in my work history but for my primary NOC for the Express entry application, should I mention 0213 or 2173 if I should be applying for the Senior Technical Architectural role.

Generally the primary NOC is the one that you have maximum experience on, to gain maximum CRS points (of 3 yrs max). Doesn't matter as long as your roles & responsibilities in the reference letter matches with the NOC, which is more important parameter for acceptance of the application.
