Canadian Immigration │ NOC C…

When industries in Canada have difficulty finding workers, they turn to immigration. There are more options than you may think when immigrating to Canada if you work in a NOC C or D occupation.

Currently, Canada uses the National Occupational Classification (NOC) system to determine an occupation’s skill level. Find your NOC by clicking here. Later this year, Canada will use the Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) system in place of the NOC system.

Canada has primarily focused on entry for NOC 0, A, and B occupations through the Express Entry system. In other words, entry for those seeking to fill occupations that generally require a University or College diploma. However, in recent years, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have been more interested in filling labor shortages classified under NOC C and D. This effort was most recently seen with Temporary Residence to Permanent Residence (TR to PR) pathways. The Canadian government has made efforts to help immigrants during the pandemic.

Examples of NOC C occupations include industrial butchers, long-haul truck drivers, and food and beverage servers. NOC D occupations include fruit pickers, cleaning staff, and oil field workers.

Below are some of the pathways to permanent residence for people with job offers and work experience in NOC C and D:

Various Provincial Nominee Programs
Quebec’s Permanent Immigration Pilot Program for Workers in Food Processing
The Atlantic Immigration Pilot
The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot
The Agri-food Immigration Pilot
The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot

My husband and I were repeatedly impressed by the hard work, dedication, professionalism, and support that we received from Stuart at Face Immigration. Thanks to Stuart’s knowledge, my husband obtained permanent residency in less time than we ever thought possible. Thanks to Stuart’s equipped and personable team, the experience I must add, was relatively stress-free! My husband and I both strongly recommend Face Immigration.

I must express sincere appreciation for Face Immigration’s strenuous efforts in solving my case. I successfully obtained permanent residency in Canada, and could not be more pleased. Early on, I tried to take matters into my own hands, but quickly found myself emotionally-drained as I attempted to navigate information, keep track of records and forms. Face Immigration was a real breath of fresh air. Letting them take the reigns on my application to Canada is something I’ll never regret.

Face Immigration changed my life. They facilitated my journey to Canada with confidence. Without them, I wouldn’t be living here today. I am now starting a family here in Canada and could not be happier.

Face Immigration was simply astounding! Very professional, personable, and thorough. Stuart and Heidi were exceptionally understanding of how stressful immigration can be for families, especially large families like ours. They gracefully guided us every step of the way, and always answered all of our questions in a timely matter. We couldn’t have immigrated without them!

Face Immigration was my first choice after feedback from a friend. Immigration acts and regulations is an area that I don’t believe anyone should take a chance at themselves. Stuart was upfront and asked pertinent questions from the get-go in order to give me a fair assessment. Once in Face Immigration’s care, I was very well informed on a frequent basis on what stage my application was. Finally, the application was approved. I highly recommend Face Immigration. Stuart is a reliable, knowledgeable, and passionate immigration consultant.
