Find Your NOC Code

The Canadian government employs a system known as the National Occupational Classification (NOC) to classify various types of employment based on the responsibilities involved, the required level of education and training, and the nature of the job performed.

WHY NOC CODE?

The IRCC utilizes NOC codes to evaluate your work experience.
Possessing an NOC code makes you eligible to apply through different economic immigration streams.
To facilitate the immigration process, NOC Codes are organized into TEER categories (0 to 5).
Additionally, an NOC code assists employers in determining your suitability for a job offer, which can enhance your CRS score.
