Before we discuss in detail, we wish you to be familiar with what NOC codes and Canadian Level Benchmark mean.

Canadian Level Benchmark (CLB)

The CLB is the Canadian standard used to describe, measure, and recognizes English language ability of adult immigrants and prospective immigrants who plan to live and work in Canada, or apply for citizenship namely Writing, Speaking, Reading, and Listening.

National Occupation Classification (NOC) Code

The NOC is a list of all the occupations in the Canadian labor market. It describes each job according to skill type and skill level. For immigration purposes, these are the main job groups:

• Skill Type 0 (zero): Management jobs
• Skill Level A: Professional jobs that usually call for a degree from a university
• Skill Level B: Technical jobs and skilled trades that usually call for a college diploma or training as an apprentice
• Skill Level C: Intermediate jobs that usually call for high school and/or job-specific training
• Skill Level D: Labour jobs that usually give on-the-job training

This program is for skilled workers with foreign work experience who want to immigrate to Canada permanently.
If you meet all the minimum requirements, we’ll then assess your application based on:
• age
• education
• work experience
• whether you have a valid job offer
• English and/or French language skills
• adaptability (how well you’re likely to settle here)
These factors are part of a 100-point grid used to assess eligibility for the Federal Skilled Worker Program. You earn points for how well you do in each of the 6 factors.
The current pass mark is 67 points.
