Respected Moderator / friends
I have applied for immigration to canada through one organisation.They gave the NOC according to my qualification and current job at the time of appling,which was M.Sc. Agriculture.
But , now I have upgraded my qualification by doing M.Sc. computer science which do not match with earlier given NOC.Now I want to do job in computer field and I also want to persue my study in computer related field through correspondece courses .
So guide me that
.....Can I change my job to the field which do not match with earlier given NOC
.....Is there option to change the NOC in the application by informing CIC.
......How it can effect my case for immigration .What type of impact it will have on visa officer.
Waiting for your suggestions

I personally dont think it should matter as its normal that your job profile changes while the immigration process is in progress. What matters is that you stick to the same qualifying criterion which you have used in your application to qualify. Higher education will help but change in profession could be tricky.
eg. in my case my profession could not be put under any listed qualification and i had to use something which was giving me enough points to qualify. I had to make my case and presentation according to the profession chosen by me in the application.
Please do await responses from our Immigration experts on the site.

You don't have to change your NOC. The information provided in your application should cover all the factors that will bring you your passmark and possible waiver. Feel free to update the embassy about your latest qualifications, however.
Please note: Qualifications and work experience do not have to be related anymore [under new law].
The job that you ultimately want to pursue in Canada will have no bearing at this point,. It may come up at the interview [if applicable].

Respected Masood ji and Manjeet,
Heartly thankful to you for your reply to my post.
Masood ji from your reply it seems that I can change my profession and job without any fear that it can effect my immigration process.
So now I can change my Job to computer science field and it will not have any bad effect on immigration processing and will not give any bad immpression on visa officer.
So, Manjeet what do you think should I change my job from agriculture.Actually I am planning persue my in Bioinformatics which combines both the biology (agriculture) and computer science(As I have already studied these two).I also got some information from my friend that bioinformatics is new subject and it has comparatively more job oppurtunity and Canada.
Please give your opinion about my idea and planning.If you have any information about bioinformatics job prospects in Canada then guide me.
Waiting for your kind guidance.
