  3. Match Your Responsibilities: Compare your job duties to the descriptions provided in the NOC. Focus on the main tasks you identified and look for the closest match in terms of skill level and responsibilities.

    Example: For a Software Developer, you might find a match in the “NOC 2174 – Computer Programmers and Interactive Media Developers” category.

  4. Verify the Skill Level: Check the skill level associated with the NOC code you’ve identified. Ensure that it aligns with your qualifications and work experience.

    Example: NOC 2174 is classified as skill level A, which usually requires a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field.

  5. Review the Detailed Description: Read the detailed description of the NOC code and occupation to ensure it accurately reflects your role and responsibilities.

  6. Prepare Your Application: Once you’ve identified the appropriate NOC code and skill level, use it for your immigration application or job search. Employers often require this code when posting job vacancies.

Let’s say you’re a Civil Engineer with a bachelor’s degree and experience in designing infrastructure projects. You visit the NOC website and search for related occupations. After comparing your job duties, you find a match under “NOC 2131 – Civil Engineers.” The skill level for this NOC is A, which corresponds well with your qualifications.

How Does Canada NOC Demand List Work?

The NOC system is built on a hierarchy of skill levels that range from 0 to 9. The skill levels are based on the type of work done and the amount of education, training, and experience needed for the job.

  • Skill level 0: management jobs
  • Skill level A: professional jobs that usually require a university degree
  • Skill level B: technical jobs and skilled trades that usually require a college diploma or apprenticeship training
  • Skill level C: intermediate jobs that usually require a high school diploma or job-specific training
  • Skill level D: labor jobs that usually require on-the-job training or no formal education

Based on the amount of skill and the type of work done, each job is given a four-digit code. For example, computer coders are given the NOC code 2174, which is for skill level A, and electricians are given the NOC code 7241, which is for skill level B.
