We have developed a comprehensive job title and NOC Code search tool, which provides detailed information including NOC Code, Occupation, Skill Level, Language Requirements, and more. Additionally, we have categorized occupations based on NOC Skill types (industry classifications) and Teer Categories (High-skilled vs. Low-skilled work). For your convenience, we have included Median Hourly Wages by Province or Territory and direct Industry links.
The National Occupation Classification (NOC) is a universally recognized and standardized system that assigns a unique code and job description to every occupation within the Canadian labour market.
This tool is designed to assist various stakeholders, including employers seeking to hire international skilled workers for positions in Canada, job seekers applying for immigration to Canada, and immigration professionals who provide support throughout the process.
It's important to note that Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) uses NOC codes to determine if a job or type of work experience meets their eligibility requirements.

Employers are required to use the provincial or territorial median hourly wage to know which Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) requirements they have to meet. | ||
The wage being offered along with the location for the position will determine if employers need to apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) under the stream for high-wage or low-wage positions, each with their own requirements. | ||
