The NOC is divided into five (5) bands:

  • Skill Type 0 - Management Occupations;
  • Skill Level A - which is primarily comprised of professional occupations;
  • Skill Level B - which consists of technical, skilled trades and paraprofessional occupations;
  • Skill Level C - which comprises occupations that mainly consist of intermediate level, clerical or supportive functions;
