which job carries more weight?

[brettwest]

Hi, can anyone tell me which job carries more weight ...if either, or are they both equal or market dependant, aldo does the A or B mean anything specific?

Graphic Designers and Illustrators (NOC 5241-B)
or
Web Designers and Developers (NOC 2175-A)

I am both but cant decide which is best to apply under...

2175 used to be counted under the expedited IT program I think. Also A and B are the skill types, A jobs are considered higher skill than B (it's to do with the second number in the NOC code, 1 = A, 2 = B). I doubt there's much in it but I would lean towards 2175 for those reasons myself.

For immigration they are equal. Skill level A tends to be more occupations that require a university degree and skill level B tends to be occupations that might require less education or apprenticeship, sometimes just on the job training but you do not get any points for having an A occupation over a B occupation.

You will however need a job offer to apply under the skilled worker program unless your occupation is on this list: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp#list
