6) Work Experience i. In the last ten years, how many years of skilled work experience in Canada do you have? It must have been paid and full-time (or an equal amount in part-time). Note: In Canada, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the official list of all the jobs in the Canadian labour market. It describes each job according to skill type, group and level. "Skilled work" in the NOC is: managerial jobs (NOC Skill Level 0) professional jobs (NOC Skill Type A) technical jobs and skilled trades/manual work (NOC Skill Type B) If you aren’t sure of the NOC level for this job, you can find your NOC.

ii. In the last 10 years, how many total years of foreign skilled work experience do you have? It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill type 0, A or B).

7) Do you have a certificate of qualification from a Canadian province, territory or federal body? Note: A certificate of qualification lets people work in some skilled trades in Canada. Only the provinces, territories and a federal body can issue these certificates. To get one, a person must have them assess their training, trade experience and skills to and then pass a certification exam. People usually have to go to the province or territory to be assessed. They may also need experience and training from an employer in Canada. This isn’t the same as a nomination from a province or territory.

Additional Points 8) Do you have a valid job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (if needed)? A valid job offer must be full-time in a skilled job listed as Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B in the 2011 National Occupational Classification supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or exempt from needing one for one year from the time you become a permanent resident A job offer isn’t valid if your employer is: an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada or on the list of ineligible employers. Whether an offer is valid or not also depends on different factors, depending on your case. See a full list of criteria for valid job offers.
