NOC B Jobs in Canada

Step 1: Find out Where Your Job is Needed Most

This is perhaps one of, if not the most, important step to landing your dream job in Canada. Finding out where your skills are in demand most will help make finding a job easier and help improve your chances of getting a work visa or even permanent residency.

• You can either do this by searching for your occupation and province on the government job listing.
• Another option is to take a look at our in-demand jobs page.

Step 2: Choose your Immigration Program

The best part about qualifying for an NOC B job in Canada is that you could be eligible to apply directly for Permanent Residency (PR) through one of three programs under the Express Entry System.

The processing times are relatively quick; six to eight months on average, and the profile will be valid for up to a year. Every two weeks, your profile will be entered into a draw with other applicants. If successful, you are invited to apply for PR!

Another option to look at, which is great if you have a job offer in Canada, is to apply directly to the province where your job is located. Some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) have very fast processing times: the British Columbia PNP(BC PNP) has processing times of around two to three months, for example.

With over 100 visas and programs available, it can be quite tricky to choose the best one for you. One of the best and most accurate ways to find your best option is to have an eligibility assessment done by experienced and licensed professionals.

This will not only save you time but could also save you money in the long run. Why risk applying for the wrong programs and have your application denied?

Frequently Asked Questions About NOC B Jobs in Canada

Can I get PR with an NOC B Job?

Yes, you can get PR with an NOC B job. NOC B jobs are considered highly skilled in Canada. They will allow you to apply for PR status through programs like the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), or the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), provided you meet the requirements.

You could also apply through programs like the Provincial Nominee Program or the Atlantic Immigration Program.

Does your NOC affect your CRS score?

No, your NOC code doesn’t affect your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. It only indicates which Express Entry program you’ll be eligible for. It also helps determine whether or not your skills match certain job requirements that are equivalent to Canadian standards.

Which Express Entry program is best for someone with an NOC B job?

Generally speaking, if you’re applying from outside Canada, the best Express Entry program for you would be the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). You can learn more about the FSTP here…..
The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) is one of the programs that is managed by the Express Entry immigration system. The FSTP is designed for foreign trade workers with work experience in eligible trade occupations to immigrate to Canada. It is not the only pathway for skilled workers to apply for permanent residence in Canada. There are also other ways to immigrate to Canada in an unskilled capacity but this will not be through a fast-track program like this one under Express Entry.

The first step is to check if you qualify as a skilled trade worker according to the federal government. You can then apply through the Express Entry system. In addition, you will also need to have a valid job offer/certificate of qualification in order to be considered eligible. Achieving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from the Express Entry system is your ultimate goal to be considered for permanent residence in every province of Canada (apart from Québec) and with the exception of receiving a provincial nomination from a Canadian province or territory. You will then need to settle in the province/territory that endorsed you.
