Determining Follow these steps to determine if your work experience is in an occupation
your NOC that is on the list of occupations eligible for processing under the Federal
category Skilled Worker Class:
STEP 1. Go to the NOC website at: http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC-
CNP/app/index.aspx?lc=e
STEP 2. Click on “To Search the NOC...”
STEP 3. Follow the instructions to find the NOC category that matches your
work experience.
The initial description and list of main duties must match what you did at your
last job(s).
If the description does not match your work experience, then you might not
have the experience you need to apply as a skilled worker.
Look through the NOC list to see if your experience matches another
occupation. Check all the jobs you have had in the past 10 years to see if you
have at least one continuous year of full-time (or part-time equivalent) work
experience in a job that will qualify you as a skilled worker.
STEP 4. Consult the list of eligible occupations
Once you have determined the NOC category or categories that match(es)
your work experience, consult the list of occupations that are eligible for
processing as per the Ministerial Instructions.
Note: If none of your occupations is on this list, you do not meet the
criteria to be placed into processing under Category 1. If you are
applying in Category 2 or 3, you need to provide your NOC category
but do not need to be in one of the occupations listed in the Ministerial
Instructions.
