What is an NOC Code

A A common question is, “What is an NOC code?”. The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is a nationally rA common question is, “What is an NOC code?”. The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is a nationally recognized & standardized system that assigns four-digit code and job description to every occupation in the Canadian labour market.d job description to every occupation in the Canadian labour market.

 

When you are asked on your immigration application to identify your work, you’ll need to do so by indicating the NOC code that best fits your experience. There are certain Canadian immigration programs that are limited to applicants with experience in occupations with specific NOC codes.

Most of Canada’s economic immigration programs, including the Express Entry linked programs use the NOC system. This is why it’s so important to understand NOC codes and how it works, as this will only help your success as an applicant.

How Do NOC Codes Work?

Each NOC number corresponds to a specific work title, introduction statement, and summary of primary tasks. Nominal Occupation Classification (NOC) codes for Canadian immigration are based on a candidate’s work history rather than their employment description. The majority of those tasks and obligations should have been completed by you. As a result, your job description may be classified under a NOC designation that isn’t appropriate for your level of expertise. Getting this wrong could result in your registration being denied, so it’s essential to know.

The jobs in the NOC have been categorized by expertise degree and specialty. The first number of the identifier usually represents the sort of talent, while the second numeral indicates the degree of that skill. The second number of the NOC designation determines whether a profession is considered high- or low-skilled for the purposes of the visa programs.

Forms of NOC Abilities

The sector of employment is indicated by the NOC Talent Category. Within the NOC grid, ten distinct types of skills are represented:

Positions in Management

1 – Commercial, financial, and administrative jobs Number 

2 – Professions in the Environmental and Applied Sciences

3 – Health Professions

4 – Professions in the fields of teaching, legal, and community/government work

5 – Jobs in the Arts, Entertainment, Recreation, and Sports

6 – Work in the field of sales and support

7 – Workers in a Variety of Industrial and Service Roles

8 – Production-related jobs in farmland, forestry, and other natural resource industries

Employment in the Industrial and Utility Sectors Most NOC IDs have a first numeral that denotes the occupation’s Specialty Category.

Competency Standards in Network Operations Centers

The NOC grid categorizes jobs into four categories, each corresponding to a different degree of schooling and training that is required to execute the job successfully. One more factor that determines a job’s requisite degree of expertise is the complexity of its responsibilities:

A: Professions that typically demand a college degree

Jobs that typically necessitate a four-year degree or an internship program

C: Professions that typically necessitate a college education and/or formal instruction in the relevant field

D: Work that typically necessitates learning on the job

However, the aforementioned does not always hold true; managerial positions are an exception. Management roles can be found in any sector, so the second number of any management job’s ID represents the sector in which it is found.

Work that requires a high level of expertise as well as work that requires little to no training.

Work at the A or B Skill Level, or at the Skill Category 0 level, is deemed high-skilled for visa purposes.

Positions requiring Prproficiency in Class C or D are unskilled.

Semi-skilled jobs are those in the NOC with a Skill Category of A, B, or C, or in Skill Type 0. These jobs may be mentioned in certain visa schemes.

NOC code 0213 describes a position typical of an information systems manager. Position in upper management indicated by a starting salary of $0. Number 2 indicates a work environment in the field of national and applied sciences.

Large and Smaller Societies

Occasionally, the visa programs will make reference to NOC Major or Organizations.

“Major Organizations” is shorthand for the first two numbers of a NOC designation.

Minor Groups are the first three numbers of a NOC designation.

Locating the Appropriate NOC Code

The Canadian government’s Department of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship (IRCC) has made it simpler to locate your NOC code. Use the application to locate a matching NOC number by entering keywords from your work description and primary responsibilities.

Our network of RCICs includes Canadian immigration specialists who can help you determine which NOC number is best suited to your background and circumstances.
