High Skills & Trade Workers

SKILL LEVEL AND TYPES
Skill Type is the broadest occupational category and is based on the type of work performed. It also reflects the field of training or experience that is normally required for entry into occupations. This includes the educational area of study required, as well as the industry of employment in cases where experience within an internal job ladder is required for entry. These categories are intended to indicate easily understood segments of the world of work. The first digit of the NOC code designates the Skill Type (see chart below). For example, Occupations in manufacturing and utilities start with the digit 9. Management Occupations, which are found across all Skill Types, start with the digit 0. The 10 Skill Types that represent the first digit of a NOC code.
NOC Skill Types Skill Type Occupation 0 Management occupations 1 Business, finance and administration occupations 2 Natural and applied sciences and related occupations 3 Health occupations 4 Occupations in education, law and social, community and government services 5 Occupations in art, culture, recreation and sport 6 Sales and service occupations 7 Trades, transport and equipment operators and related occupations 8 Natural resources, agriculture and related production occupations 9 Occupations in manufacturing and utilities Let us look at each Skill Type in more detail.
This Skill Type category contains legislators, senior management occupations and middle and other management occupations. These occupations span all Skill Type categories.
This Skill Type category contains occupations that are concerned with providing financial and business services, administrative and regulatory services and clerical supervision and support services. Some occupations in this Skill Type are unique to the financial and business service sectors; however, most are found in all industries.
This Skill Type category contains professional and technical occupations in the sciences, including physical and life sciences, engineering, architecture and information technology.
This Skill Type category includes occupations concerned with providing health care services directly to patients and occupations that provide support to professional and technical health care staff.
This Skill Type category includes occupations that are concerned with teaching, law, social and community services, social sciences, occupations in public administration including front line public protection services, developing government policy, and administering government and other programs.
This Skill Type category includes professional and technical occupations related to art and culture, including the performing arts, film and video, broadcasting, journalism, writing, creative design, libraries and museums. It also includes occupations in recreation and sport.
This Skill Type category contains sales occupations and personal and customer service occupations including hospitality and tourism.
This Skill Type category includes construction and mechanical trades, trades supervisors and contractors and operators of transportation and heavy equipment. These occupations are found in a wide range of industries.
This Skill Type category also includes most of the apprenticeable trades. Other occupations in this category usually require completion of college or other programs combined with on-the-job training. Progression to supervisory or self-employed contractor status is possible with experience. There is limited mobility or transferability of skills among occupations in this category due to specific apprenticeship, training and licensing requirements for most occupations.
This Skill Type category contains supervisory and equipment operation occupations in the natural resource-based sectors of mining, oil and gas production, forestry and logging, agriculture, horticulture, fishing, hunting and trapping. Most occupations in this category are industry specific and do not occur outside of the primary industries.
This Skill Type category contains supervisory and production occupations in manufacturing, processing and utilities.
You now know how occupations are classified according to a work domain that is called "Skill Type". We will now learn how the NOC further categorizes occupations according to different levels of skill required for entering occupations.
In the context of the NOC, Skill Level corresponds to the type and/or amount of training or education typically required to work in an occupation. The NOC consists of four Skill Levels identified A through D with each level assigned one of two numerical codes ranging from 0 to 7. To illustrate this concept, have a look at the chart below to see the relationship between the alphabetical indicator of each Skill Level and its accompanying numerical digits. Skill Level is primarily based on the nature of education and training required to enter an occupation. This criterion also reflects the experience required and the complexity of the responsibilities involved in the work, compared with other occupations. In most cases, progression to Skill Level A, from B, is not usually possible without completion of additional formal education, whereas progression from Skill Level D to Skill Level C is often achievable through on-the-job training and experience. Each Skill Level is intended to reflect commonly accepted paths to employment in an occupation. Where there are several paths to employment, the Skill Level most commonly identified by employers is used, considering the context of the occupation and the trends in hiring requirements.The second digit of the NOC code represents the Skill Level for all occupations, with the exception of Management which will be discussed below.
The 4 Skill Levels, A to D, used in the NOC are identified in the second digit of the NOC code.
NOC Skill Types Skill Level (alpha) Skill Level (digit) Nature of Education/ Training A
Occupations usually require university education.0 or 1 University degree at the bachelor's, master's or doctorate level. B
Occupations usually require college or vocational education or apprenticeship training.2 or 3 Two to three years of post-secondary education at a community college, institute of technology or CEGEP or
Two to five years of apprenticeship training
or
Three to four years of secondary school and more than two years of on-the-job training, specialized training courses or specific work experience.
Occupations with supervisory responsibilities and occupations with significant health and safety responsibilities, such as firefighters, police officers and registered nursing assistants are all assigned the Skill Level B.C
Occupations usually require secondary school and/or occupation-specific training.4 or 5 Some secondary school education, with up to two years of on-the-job training, training courses or specific work experience. D
On-the-job training is usually provided for occupations.6 or 7 Short work demonstration or on-the-job training or

In Canada, for certain professions every province has its own licensing and regulatory requirements, if you acquired your education and skills from a country other than Canada, you may be asked to get a license or to be registered with a regulatory body. In order to do so a credential evaluation / trade assessment will be needed to complete the professional certification. We assist you in both processes. send your details for assessment and evaluation of your options. In case you need a trade certification our online workshops can help you to prepare for your Red-Seal Certification Exam.
Your employer may need to get a labour market impact (LMIA) to hire you. This is a document from the Government of Canada that gives your employer permission to hire a foreign worker.If you have found an employer in Canada, we can assist your employer in this application process

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW!
Once we get your application for a work permit, we will start to process it.
When we do this, we may ask you to go to an interview with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada officials in your country or to send more information.
You might need a medical exam to enter Canada. If you do, an officer will tell you so and will send you instructions on what to do. Note: A medical exam can add over three months to the time it takes us to process your application.
An officer will also check:
- the list of employers who failed to comply with the conditions to make sure that the employer can hire you,
- that you have not worked in Canada for one or more periods that total four years or more (with some exceptions), and
- that you qualify for a work permit and have given us all the documents we need.
If you are approved to work, you will get a “letter of introduction” that states you are allowed to work in Canada. That letter is not a work permit.
When you get to Canada, you must show the letter to the border services officer (BSO). You must also show:
- your passport,
- your visa (if you need one) and
- any travel documents you are carrying (such as airline tickets).
The BSO may then give you a work permit that sets out the conditions of your stay and work in Canada.
If you are eligible to apply for the work permit as you enter Canada and are approved, the BSO may then give you a work permit that sets out any conditions on your stay and work in Canada.
If you are eligible to apply from within Canada, we will mail the work permit to the address in Canada you provided.
The work permit will outline:
- the type of work you can do,
- the employer you can work for,
- where you can work and
- how long you can work.
