What is NOC Code?

Your National Occupational Classification (NOC) code identifies your occupation within Canada’s immigration and labour-market system.

Choosing the correct NOC code is important for many Canadian immigration programs, including Express Entry, the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), LMIA applications and employer-specific work permits.

Use our NOC Code Finder to identify possible NOC 2021 codes based on your job title and actual job duties.

Important

Your job title alone does not determine your NOC. Your actual duties and responsibilities should closely match the occupational description and main duties of the selected NOC.

Found a possible NOC? Your immigration application should be based on your actual duties, not the job title alone.
