Subject: What does Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B mea
  Hi another question:
What does Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B in work experience mean?

I´m a restauran manager and it´s listed as 0. How does it affect the processing time or the general immigration process.

One last question please! I´ve been paid for this job, however, I don´t have any check because this is my BF restaurant. Nevertheless, I count with a job contract and it will be legalized.

Thx in advance for your answers.

Hola Jose,

Please check this site for a list of NOC (National Occupation Classification):
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/qual-2-1.html
I´m not sure about how the 0, A or B will affect your application, but all the occupations listed there are suitable for Canadian immigration.

Regarding your 2nd question: as long as you have a notarized contract, it´s fine. I´ve heard that even if you don´t have one, you can submit letters of recommendation and salary receipts as proof that you were employed.

Hope that helps.

Suerte! / Good luck!

are you aware that you will not be eligible to practice medicine in Canada without extensive training once you get here? Make sure you do a whole lot more research into this decision before you proceed.

***What is a NOC Code?***

All occupations are assigned a four-digit code - for example, as I showed above, Chemist is 2112. The first digit of each code refers to the occupational category: 0 for managerial, 1 for business, finance and administration, 2 for natural and applied science, 3 for health and so on. The second digit refers to the skill level required for the position, as the NOC website explains:

When the second digit is… …the skill level category is

1..............................Skill Level A (Professional Occupations)
2 or 3........................Skill Level B (Technical, Paraprofessional and Skilled Occupations
4 or 5........................Skill Level C (Intermediate Occupations)
6..............................Skill Level D (Labouring and Elemental Occupations


Why is this useful? It helps job-seekers, employers and the government to understand occupations, job responsibilities, qualifications and so on. If you’re looking for work as a chemist, you can read the NOC for that occupation and understand the main duties of a chemist, the education and any licensing you might require, and also find out any related occupations. It helps employers to write job descriptions, and it helps government to maintain statistics and provide labour market information. The NOC is used across government-provided labour market websites, so you can search by NOC code on the Labour Market Information website (http://www.labourmarketinformation.ca), Ontario Job Futures - for Ontario-specific labour market information (http://www.ontariojobfutures.ca/home_page.html) and even Job Bank (http://www.jobbank.gc.ca).


***How does this relate to immigration?***

The Government of Canada has prioritised certain occupations for immigration, known as the NOC 38. These occupations are listed here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp#list

If you look at that list, you’ll see that the second digit is always either 1, 2 or 3, meaning that the occupations are professional, technical or skilled.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada also limits the kind of work experience you can use to apply for immigration under the Canadian work experience class or job offer class: this must be in the following categories:
• Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations) or
• Skill Level A (professional occupations) or
• Skill Level B (technical occupations and skilled trades)
Again, back to the NOC codes, this means that your work experience must be in a managerial field or in a NOC with a second digit of 1, 2 or 3.
