re-apply under 4121next time. i am sure it will be accepted. same thing happened to my friend 5 months ago with NOC 4122, got rejected. he re-applied with the eligible NOC 4121 nearly 4 months ago, he is yet to receive the file number this time. if he would be rejected again, he would have received his application back again just within 1 month. they just look at whether the occupation you indicated is eligible or not, they don't look at the duties in details.
