Immigrant Visas » Federal Skilled Worker
Canada values the skills and experiences that foreign professionals and workers bring with them. In the Independent/Skilled Worker Class, a skilled worker is someone who has at least one (1) year of full-time (37.5 hours per week or more) work experience within the past ten (10) years in one of the occupations listed in either Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification (NOC). The NOC was developed by Human Resources Development Canada to be a systematic cataloging of occupations in the Canadian labor market. The NOC is divided into five (5) bands:
Skill Type 0
Management Occupations;
Skill Level A
which is primarily comprised of professional occupations;
Skill Level B
which consists of technical, skilled trades and paraprofessional occupations;
Skill Level C
which comprises occupations that mainly consist of intermediate level, clerical or supportive functions;
Skill Level D
which consists of elemental sales or service and primary laborer occupations.
To immigrate in the Independent/Skilled Worker Class, the experience in Skill Type 0 or Skill Levels A and B must consist of actions described in the lead description and a substantial number of the duties described in the Main Duties section of the NOC, including all the essential duties.
