Frequently asked questions
Is NOC 13200 eligible for Express Entry?+
NOC 13200 is a TEER 3 occupation. IRCC counts work in TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 occupations as skilled work experience for the Federal Skilled Worker Program and the Canadian Experience Class, as long as all other program requirements are met.
Is NOC 13200 a high-wage occupation?+
No. NOC 13200 isn't on IRCC's Express Entry high-wage occupations list, so it doesn't earn the extra high-wage or job offer CRS points. Canadian work-length points can still apply for TEER 0–3 work.
Which Express Entry category draws include NOC 13200?+
None of IRCC's current category-based selection lists include NOC 13200. Candidates can still be invited in general, program-specific (such as CEC) or PNP rounds.
