The truth is most people don\u2019t even consider it when looking for employment \u2013 immigrants and native Canadians alike. But if you find your NOC, it can be a valuable resource to help you during your job search.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Canada welcomed 184,000 new immigrants in 2020 alone. That\u2019s a significant number when you consider that the majority of travel was halted due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immigrants are drawn to Canada for many reasons, and if you\u2019re seeking a higher quality of life and access to job opportunities, understanding the Canadian labour market is vital. Find your NOC and use it as a helpful tool along your immigration journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-noc\"><strong>What is a NOC?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>The National Occupational Classification (NOC) tool can help you identify in-demand jobs<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One important tool to research the Canadian job market is the National Occupational Classification (NOC) Code. This is the government\u2019s system to describe occupations in Canada. It is basically a classification system for each job in the marketplace with a unique identification code. The NOC can help you to identify the most in-demand sectors, understand the job market, and fast-track your job prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you find your NOC you can use it as a powerful tool to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Settle into paid employment soon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.2026-pfc.reviewyoursite.ca\/blog\/before-you-arrive\/settling-in-canada\/the-first-things-you-will-need-to-do-after-landing-in-canada\/\">after arriving in Canada<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Target the most in-demand jobs when job searching<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enhance job security and stability in Canada in the long run<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-find-your-noc\"><strong>How to Find Your NOC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Identifying your NOC is a simple process.
