Definition of Skilled Worker
In the federal Skilled Worker Class, a skilled worker is someone who has at least one year of work experience within the past 10 years in one of the occupations listed in either Skill Type 0 or Management of Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification (NOC). The NOC was developed by HRDC to be a systematic taxonomy of occupations in the Canadian labour market.
In other words, not every occupation will qualify you to be a skilled worker. Only skilled occupation will be considered when assessing an application for permanent residence. For example, if you are truck driver, your experience will not be considered. If you are carpenter, your experience will be considered.
Use our free service to find out whether you could qualify as a skilled worker. Fill out the assessment form or send us your resume. Make sure that your resume contains all information that we need to make a proper assessment. Look for the guidelines for resume.
