les piéces jointes sauf si vous reconnaissez I'expéditeur et sachez que le contenu est sir. Dear [requester], 1am reaching out to seek guidance regarding the category-based selection draws introduced for Express Entry candidates, particularly for FSW and CEC candidates in targeted categories such as healthcare, STEM, and trades. Could you please confirm whether, for FSW and CEC candidates, their primary NOC in their Express Entry profile must be one of the targeted NOC codes to be eligible for category-based selection draws? Or isit sufficient for the candidate to have at least six months of continuous full-time work experience (or equivalent part-time experience) in an eligible NOC listed in the work history section of their express entry profile, even if their primary NOCis different?
