IMB Immigration Law  How to navigate the NOC
system when applying for Immigration To Canada?
Understanding NOC is a very important part of
skilled or entrepreneur immigration system to
Canada. At IMB Immigration Law, we guide the
clients carefully through the NOC related
questions, the job duties applicants perform and
the skill levels etc. Applications for PR to
Canada must mention the NOC of the worker. What
Is NOC? NOC is National Occupational
Classification. It can be directly accessed
at https//noc.esdc.gc.ca/. The 2016 version of
the NOC is the most recent. It is essentially a
system to classify the occupations based on the
workers job duties. The system has divided the
jobs based on skill level.

itizenship NOC is a four tiered hierarchical
structure. At the base is the classification of
10 broad categories. Management
occupations Business, finance and administration
occupations  Natural and applied sciences and
related occupations Health occupations Occupation
s in education, law and social, community and
government services Occupations in art, culture,
recreation and sport Sales and service
occupations Trades, transport and equipment
operators and related occupations Natural
resources, agriculture and related production
occupations Occupations in manufacturing and
utilities The first number of a complete
classification of a job or occupation starts with
the number of one of the above, where the
occupation falls. E.g. Food Service Supervisors
(NOC 6311) fall under the sales and service
occupations. Category 6 Subcategory 63 Minor
group 631 and finally the occupation NOC 6311.

Job Duties Job title and duties define the
category for an applicant. Doctors practicing
medicine will fall in category 3. Doctors who are
hospital administrators will fall in category 0
or 1. The Job duties, lead statement and main
responsibilities of your job should match with or
be commensurate with the main duties defined
under that NOC. The title of the job may vary and
does not have to be the exact same as under the
NOC. Applicant must carefully review all his/her
job duties and work profile to ascertain which
the correct NOC is. Immigration officers review
the NOC and job duties for each applicant very
carefully. They may ask you to change the NOC if
your duties look better suited to a different NOC
classification. This can also lead to change of
the skill level. IMB Immigration Law With so
