A member who'd already applied to SINP under NOC 0911, with no relative or friend in Canada, asked whether they could also apply to a different PNP under a different NOC, and which province might be worth targeting.
What the thread touched on:- You're not limited to a single NOC or a single province — the discussion confirmed you can apply under a different NOC to a different province in parallel, though the thread didn't go into full mechanics of running multiple applications side by side.
- NOC 0911's eligibility criteria generally require a bachelor's degree with relevant experience — a mechanical engineering background (BTech, production engineer) was discussed as potentially fitting this NOC's requirements, though this needs individual confirmation against the specific NOC description.
- Applying under the Occupations In-Demand (OID) category with a province was raised as another avenue, separate from your existing SINP application, worth exploring if your NOC fits that specific province's demand list.
The practical takeaway: you can apply to a different province under a different NOC even while you have an existing SINP application pending — check whether your specific NOC (and background) fits the target province's Occupations In-Demand category or other relevant stream before committing.
