SINP work experience: why you must pick one NOC code, not mix two

  • SINP profile — NOC selection

    Choose a single NOC code for your profile that matches the work experience you're claiming points for.

Step-by-Step

A common question for SINP applicants with experience spanning two different job types is whether both can be counted together. Group members were clear that this isn't how the profile works.

What group members advised:
  1. You must select one NOC code when creating your SINP profile. You can't combine or switch between two different NOCs for the experience section.

  2. All the experience you claim points for has to fall under that single NOC for the specific employment period you're citing — experience under a different NOC during the same or another period can't be blended in.


The practical takeaway: decide which NOC best reflects the bulk of your relevant experience and build your SINP profile (and supporting reference letters) around that single code, rather than trying to combine roles across two different NOCs.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Do: Choose one NOC code for your SINP profile that matches your claimed work experience.
  • Don't: Don't try to combine work experience from two different NOC codes in a single SINP application.
