NOC & degree specifications

[TrisHCL]

Hi I have a bit of a confusion
I have a Master of Biotechnology
(This comes under NOC 2121)

The work experience I have is as a Quality Control Chemist ( which comes under NOC 2112) in a pharmaceutical company. We learn Biochemistry in Biotechnology so often times we get hired as Quality Control personnel.

I've read that you should select the NOC to which your job description matches closely. For me it's 2112. But my degree falls under 2121.

In this case, will I lose marks for having experience that's (not exactly) related to biotech?

No it doesn’t have to match and you will not lose points.

No it doesn’t have to match and you will not lose points.

Is this the case even with foreign work experience?
Thank you

Yes.

 

[TrisHCL]

Yes.

Thank you so much
