by Visa Experts Immigration Consultants | PR Visa Agent
The National Occupational Classification or Canada NOC list is a source used by Canadian immigration authorities to find out eligible occupations that are in-demand in Canada. The National Occupational Classification (NOC) system assigns a 4-digit code and a job description to every occupation existing in the Canada labor market. The NOC code describes an occupation for job seekers in Canada. 

Finding and selecting a NOC code is a vital part of your Canada PR visa process. Canada immigration applicants are required to choose a NOC code before submitting their application for any of the economic migration programs. Choosing the NOC code is one of the essential parts of your visa application as candidates need this when asked to identify their work experience as per Canadian labor market needs. There are economic migration streams which only consider applicants with experience in occupations identified by specific NOC code. Therefore, it is extremely important for applicants to understand the NOC codes and how they actually work. 

NOC Codes- Understanding the Basics

As mentioned already, finding the NOC code that aligns with your work experience is absolutely necessary, no matter which visa pathway you are opting for. Make sure whichever NOC code you choose, it should match with your work experience and the job duties performed by you, otherwise your application will get refused. It’s your responsibility to ensure you also have supporting documents in favor of your chosen NOC code before heading to Canada immigration points calculator. Remember every NOC code comes with a job title, job responsibilities, and a lead statement. 

Prospective applicants must also know that instead of matching the actual job title, they should focus on whether their work experience matches the lead statement and job responsibilities or not. There are also pretty good chances of your work experience matching with a couple of different NOC codes, or you hold a job title that might be linked with a NOC code that doesn’t match with your work experience. So, act diligently, if needed consultant an immigration consultant who can help you in finding the best NOC code for you. 

The federal government has divided a range of occupations into Skill Type and Skill Level categories. The Skill Type is the first digit of your NOC code, whereas the Skill Type is the second one.
