National Occupational Classification List

The process of Canadian immigration begins with navigating through the Canada ROC list, which means choosing the right National Occupational Classification (NOC) for your application. The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is Canada’s recognized system of organizing and defining occupations for candidates seeking Canadian immigration. The system assigns a unique four-digit code and job duties to every occupation as per the Canadian labor market requirements. The ROC plays a pivotal role in helping applicants know the demand of their occupations in the skilled worker Canada list.

The National Occupation Classification is recognized by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IPCC). Candidates are required to claim a NOC code before you submitting their application in the Canada express entry for economic immigration.
