NOC
The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the authorized source of information on occupations in Canada. It was designed to classify data on occupations drawn from statistical surveys.
The basic principle of the classification of the NOC is the type of work performed. Occupations are identified and grouped primarily according to the work usually performed, which is determined by the tasks, duties, and responsibilities of the occupation.
An occupation is defined as a collection of jobs that are sufficiently similar in terms of the work performed that it is possible to group them together under the same title for classification purposes. Furthermore, a job encompasses all the tasks performed by a worker in the context of their duties.

Numbering of the recognition options
The numbering of the (skills recognition) options does not indicate a priority of one option over another. The choice of an option depends above all on the profile and prospects of each one.
This portal uses the National Occupational Classification (NOC) to organize and present information.
Although they are helpful, the sections or labels of the unit groups do not always correspond with the real-world job titles used every day in the world of work.
