Canada National Occupation Classification (NOC)
NOC Code Canada, or the National Occupation Classification Canada, is a well structured system that categorizes and classifies occupations in Canada. It assigns a unique five-digit code to each occupation, based on job descriptions, responsibilities, and qualifications. The Canada NOC code is extensively used in immigration programs like Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) to assess eligibility and suitability of work experience.
NOC List Canada is a comprehensive list of NOC codes essential for understanding and organizing the Canadian job market. It helps applicants determine if their experience meets immigration requirements and serves as a common language for employers, job seekers, and immigration authorities. The NOC list is divided into 6 TEERs (TEER 0-5) to facilitate a better understanding of the Canadian labour market.
