Only focus on the two sections highlighted abov e. The poi nt of this exercise is to identify
the NOC that most closely matches your occupation. The Canadian government will
examine the duties of your job against the two section s highlighted.

Don’t base your NOC code search on job titles. When checking a NOC, foc us on job
duties and try to find the NOC that is mos t comparable to the wor k you are currently
doing or have done in the past.
