An applicant with an MSc in Computer Science asked which NOC code to use for their SINP (Saskatchewan) profile, unsure whether it should be tied to their degree.
What the thread clarified:- NOC codes are based on your job description, not your educational qualification. The tasks, duties, and responsibilities you actually performed at work determine the correct NOC — your degree title is not the deciding factor.
- This means the NOC should match your actual work experience and job role, so review your job duties against the official NOC task descriptions to find the correct match rather than picking a code because it sounds related to your degree.
Takeaway: don't choose a NOC based on your degree name — match it to the specific duties and responsibilities of the job(s) you've actually held.
