Chai, don't crucify me naa. It is not the job title that is my problem o. It's the duties. They don't really match

elfmann:
This woman sef. Your job title at ur old workplace mustn't be the same with IRCC's. I told u what matters is the duties. If those duties ur HR said they will populate go with 70% of NOC 1114's, that is OK. Let them quote Funds Transfer Officer, u choose NOC 1114-Other Financial Officers. It is a group title.

Did that. My worry is just that the duties I listed in my post is exactly what the HR said they will write on the letter. They are not willing to tweak the duties or even the title. Do it think it can fly? This is what the NOC 1114 says for financial planners, the closest in description. Do you think they match at all?

This unit group includes professional occupations in finance not elsewhere classified such as financial planners, financial examiners and inspectors, financial investigators, financial underwriters, mortgage brokers and trust officers. They are employed by banks, trust companies, investment firms and governments, or they may be self-employed.


Financial planners develop personal financial plans for clients covering cash management, finances, insurance coverage, investments, retirement and estate planning, taxes and legal matters; analyze clients' financial records, set goals and develop a financial strategy; advise clients on implementing the financial plan to help them achieve their goals; may also arrange for the purchase and sale of financial products and investments depending on the licence held, and monitor the portfolio to ensure its quality and profitability; and help to expand business and attract new clients.

Titles:
1. foreign interbanking arrangements officer
2. interbanking arrangements officer

Kontagious:
Put these exact words "40manlappy funds transfer" in the search bar and you'd have your NOC in the first post.

Note: He has his CoPR now.

I have done that. But the list I posted is exactly what the HR said they will write on the letter and also state Funds Transfer Officer. I can get them to tweak either the duties or title sef.. Is it ok? If I decide to use another job as primary NOC, can the FT one fly like that?

veritas3:
Check for NOC 1114 and in the titles listed look for interbanking arrangements officer/foreign interbanking arrangements officer... That's the NOC for Funds Transfer Officer

Good morning all,

Thanks for the swift response yesterday. I appreciate it. I hope I am not being a bother if I ask another question. I was not going to but my former employers just contacted me yesterday evening and said that they cannot help me with tweaking my duties while I was there to align with any NOC. I was with them for 4 years as a Funds Transfer officer. See details of my roles below. I would really really appreciate your answers once again in helping me decide on which NOC is best. The thing is giving me worry. Don't want it to be this NOC wahala that will give me problem after sorting the distance learning thing. Thanks.

The paragrapgh you referenced in relation to distance learning study being acceptable or otherwise is in relation to DL study from Canadian University and if points will be awarded as having studied in Canada.

Evaluate your UK MBA and bracket "by correspondence" in front of your institution name when filling your forms, it will be accepted and awarded points in same manner as a foreign credential. You have nothing to worry about.

This is such a huge relief. Thank you. [quote author=MRSDA post=61509187][/quote]

Hello everyone,

I am amazed at the extent of information one can gather here. It is better than anything an 'agent' can offer. This is the beginning of my sojourn on this platform and this Canada journey also. I have read through the page and I have a good knowledge of all that is required. Kudos to you all. I have a few questions that I would appreciate answers to please:
I am 33 and hubby is a year older. I am aiming to be the PA since I have 5 more points in age and also getting employment reference letters would be easier cos I have had only two employers as against DH's 4.
So one of my questions stems from the fact that I have an MBA via distance learning from a UK university. Although my degree certificate does not state that in any way, I am worried that it may not be accepted bearing in mind the extract I got from the CIC site on document requirements. See below:

In cases where an applicant’s background information suggests that a Canadian education credential may have been obtained via distance learning either abroad or while present in Canada, it is at the officer’s discretion to request for supporting documentation.
If it is determined that the applicant obtained more than 50 percent of their education via distance learning, the applicant should not be awarded additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points for having a Canadian education credential. If the reduction in CRS points results in the applicant having a score below the minimum CRS, the application should be refused per A11.2
&
Applicants are instructed to indicate that their education was completed by correspondence by typing in brackets {by correspondence} on the same line as the education institution name found in the Education Background Information tab of GCMS. The discretion remains with the officer to decide if a police certificate is required for the country of the education institution

2.) Furthermore, I also need to know if I can use the job i did 4 years ago as my primary NOC instead of my current job. (I am having some issues deciding with my current job-next question explains why)

3.) Do you think I can use Credit Manager 0122 NOC. My job details in the past 3 and half years has been as a Retail & Credit Risk Analyst. But under the Lead Statement for the said NOC 0122, it states that is for "managers". I am only a 4th level officer in my bank although my work entails approving credit requests for disbursements and everything related to processing credit requests. I also supervise other junior officers. Will they raise an eyebrow due to my level? I am not a middle or senior level officer. I am thinking NOC 1212 but I am not sure that cuts it.

Apologies for my long write-up. I don't want to keep disturbing you guys with questions. Please help me to make a decision.

Thank you.
