National Occupation Classification (NOC) code

National Occupation Classification Canada

The National Occupational Classification(NOC) is Canada’s national system of organizing and describing occupations. It can help you locate information about occupations found throughout Canada’s job market.

The NOC is a useful tool for job seekers. You can use it to research:

Job descriptions
Educational requirements
Required skills
Related occupations

The NOC is updated every 5 years by Employment and Social Development Canada and Statistics Canada.
