Ontario PNP issues an Occupation in Demand list for the NOCs that are most in demand in the labor market of Ontario due to the lack of skilled workers present in Ontario, CANADA.
The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is Canada’s national system for describing occupations. NOC code is a combination of five digits
To define and classify employment (occupations) based on the training, education, experience, and responsibilities (TEER) they necessitate, the government employs the 2021 National Occupational Classification (NOC) system.
What is a TEER?
The training, education, experience, and responsibilities (or TEER) required to execute a job. The skill type and level structure of the 2016 NOC system was changed to the TEER categorization system.
