Frequently asked questions
Is NOC 65109 eligible for Express Entry?+
NOC 65109 is a TEER 5 occupation. IRCC only counts TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 work as skilled experience for the Federal Skilled Worker Program and the Canadian Experience Class, so this occupation alone generally won't meet those requirements. Provincial programs may differ.
Is NOC 65109 a high-wage occupation?+
No. NOC 65109 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 65109?+
None of IRCC's current category-based selection lists include NOC 65109. Candidates can still be invited in general, program-specific (such as CEC) or PNP rounds.
