NOC 2021 helper
IRCC grades the work that was actually done, not the label on the offer. Main duties first, lead statement second, employment requirements and Job Bank wages last. Title search can start the hunt. It cannot finish it.
Method: How to assess your NOC. Related: Wages, Work, Permanent Residence, OINP.
Duties first
Search can start the hunt. Duties decide.
Browse the 516 official NOC 2021 unit groups on this site. Shortlist up to three candidates. This page will not treat a code as a working candidate until you compare official main duties, including every essential duty. Titles are not a test. A polished title with the wrong duties is a bad code.
Make sure the main duties listed match what you did at your job. If they don’t, you’ll need to find a different job title with duties that match yours.
Official line from IRCC Find your NOC. The regulatory test is IRPR section 75. Read the unit group on ESDC NOC 2021.
