Canada National Occupational Classification list (NOC) is a system Canada governments use to classify jobs (occupations). In canada, Jobs are grouped based on the type of work a person does. Its very necessary an immigrant must know their NOC code that correlates with their job for a visa application.
For immigration purposes, the main job groups are:
- Skill Type 0 (zero): management jobs, such as:
- restaurant managers
- mine managers
- shore captains (fishing)
- Skill Level A: professional jobs that usually call for a degree from a university, such as:
- doctors
- dentists
- architects
- Skill Level B: technical jobs and skilled trades that usually call for a college diploma or training as an apprentice, such as:
- chefs
- plumbers
- electricians
- Skill Level C: intermediate jobs that usually call for high school and/or job-specific training, such as:
- industrial butchers
- long-haul truck drivers
- food and beverage servers
- Skill Level D: labour jobs that usually give on-the-job training, such as:
- fruit pickers
- cleaning staff
- oil field workers
Canada immigration programs use the NOC to decide if a job or type of work experience meets their eligibility. They consider “skilled” jobs those with NOC Skill Type 0, A or B. They assess jobs against the 2016 version of the NOC.
