If you've worked under two different NOC codes at the same employer and received your Notice of Interest (NOI) from a provincial program (like OINP) under the more recent one, it's natural to wonder whether you can now update your Express Entry profile to reflect both roles.
Guidance from the group:- Combine the tasks performed under both NOCs, but lay emphasis on the one your nomination is based on. Aim to describe roughly 70% of your job description around the desired NOC, and be prepared to defend that framing if your actual duties genuinely overlapped.
- Keep your primary NOC in Express Entry the same as the one your OINP nomination/ITA was issued under. Changing your primary NOC after the NOI risks creating inconsistency between your provincial nomination and your federal profile.
If you're unsure how much to adjust, a Letter of Explanation (LOE) can clarify the overlap between the two roles rather than leaving the profile change unexplained.
