Hi everyone, I'm working as a sushi chef in a sushi take out shop (not a restaurant). My main duty is to make sushi rolls, and prepare food for the next day. So am I qualified as a chef (noc B - 6321) or sushi preparer (noc D - 6711)? I'm graduated in Canada as a computer technician, which is not relevant to restaurant at all.
Thank you.

Do you supervise other workers?
Do you instruct other workers in how to prepare food?
Do you plan out menu items?
Do you create new recipes?

Non of them, but I thought it's for head chef only, and there's no title named "sushi cook".

Those I pulled from the definition of "chef," which is below "executive chef," "head chef," and "sous-chef."

If you do none of those, I don't believe you can claim chef as your NOC.

Thank you, so If I have 1 of 4 above, I'm qualified right?

No, meeting one duty doesn't qualify you under a NOC. You need to meet the majority. As you have already said you don't do any of the chef duties, 6711 is the correct NOC.

A major clue is that you work in a take-out shop as opposed to a restaurant. The lead statement in an NOC is just as important as the job duties and responsibilities -

NOC 6321
"They are employed in restaurants, hotels, hospitals and other health care institutions, central food commissaries, clubs and similar establishments, and on ships."

NOC 6711
"They are employed by restaurants, cafés, hotels, fast food outlets, cafeterias, hospitals and other establishments."

Based on that difference alone, NOC 6711 fits better.

Try NOC B - 6322, Cooks.
If that doesn't match either. then Im afraid it comes udner 6711 which is not eligible.
