Foreign nationals applying for economic immigration to Canada through the Express Entry-linked Federal Skilled Worker and Federal Skilled Trades programs will have to put in completely different occupational codes on their applications starting November 16.
That’s when Ottawa’s new National Occupational Classification (NOC) system takes effect on Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) applications.
Under the FSW, there have been 347 eligible occupations for applicants who must then meet minimum entry criteria and submit Expressions Of Interest (EOI) profile to the Express Entry Pool. A few of those occupations have been combined under the new NOC.
