Canada added 16 new occupations to its demand category for workers to support a variety of industries

The NOC system monitors and organizes all employment in the Canadian labour market, and it is updated to reflect changes in the economy and the nature of work. As additional jobs become eligible for the Express Entry programs, the modifications to the NOC system complement the Minister's goal to expanding routes to permanent residency for temporary employees and foreign students.

Sean Fraser, Canada's Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, introduced the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 for immigration programs controlled through the Express Entry system. Using the new NOC categories, Canada will be able to attract global talent in high-demand industries Generally, industries tend to be in high demand across the country are:

• Health Care
• Technology
• Scientific area
• Teaching
• Construction
• Transportation

Workers from 16 new occupations are now eligible for permanent residency in Canada. Foreign nationals with work experience in the following 16 occupations are now able to apply through Express Entry:

• Payroll administrators
• Dental assistants and dental laboratory assistants
• Nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates
• Pharmacy technical assistants and pharmacy assistants
• Elementary and secondary school teacher assistants
• Sheriffs and Bailiffs
• Correctional service officers
• By-law enforcement and other regulatory officers
• Estheticians, electrologists and related occupations
• Residential and commercial installers and servicers
• Pest controllers and fumigators
• Other repairers and servicers
• Transport truck drivers
• Bus drivers, subway operators and other transit operators
• Heavy equipment operators
• Aircraft assemblers and aircraft assembly inspectors

 
Candidates may expect Express Entry draws to continue in late 2022 and early 2023, with CRS scores being the primary deciding factor in issuing ITAs. Canada held its most recent all-program Express Entry draw on November 23, 2022.  Since they started on July 6, it was the eleventh all-program draw. IRCC invited 4750 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residency. The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 491. This draw has the same amount of ITAs as the previous two on November 9 and October 26. With each round, the CRS score decreases by two or three points.
The new system classifies jobs based on the amount of training, education, experience, and responsibility (TEER) required. The new TEER system has amended NOC 2016's competence levels 0-E and developed five TEERS in their place. With this modification, 16 previously ineligible occupations can now benefit from improved routes to permanent residency.
