Occupation field..while filling the application

[pkp]

I had a question while filling the application form for the PR. What is the difference between Computer Programmer/Software Engineer/Computer System Analyst?? Does it make any difference in the final points?

Title \'SOFTWARE Engineer\' has 17 ETF and will give 10 points.

Go to section. you will see under \'S\'.

NOC: 2147.2
Title: Software Engineers
Occupational Factor: 5
ETF: 17

Go to section. you will see under \'C\'.

NOC: 2163.0
Title: Computer Programmers
Occupational Factor: 10
ETF: 15
 
NOC: 2162.0
Title: Computer Systems Analysts
Occupational Factor: 10
ETF: 15
 

For software Engineer, ETF is 17, which is more than 15. Means, you can get 10 points for that. 10 point is maximum. so, use \'Software Engineer\' as title. you can use \'Computer Programmers\' as well as \'Computer system Analysts\' also.

There is no Occupation like PROGRAMMER, SYSTEM Engineer, System analyst in Occupation list.

Experts, please comment.
