Labour Market Classification of Nominees

Unit groups can often be linked directly to one occupation (such as NOC 31110 – Dentists) or to more than one occupation (such as NOC 72600 – Air pilots, flight engineers and flying instructors). Detailed information on the NOC can be found at noc.esdc.gc.ca/. This dataset provides the number of certificates issued annually by NOC TEER or skill category, NOC Code (5 digits in 2021 version, 4 digits in 2016 version), and Occupational Group:

• NOC TEER and skill level corresponds to the type and/or amount of training or education typically required to work in an occupation;
• The 4- and 5-digit NOC codes are comprised of over 500 occupational groups identified as unit groups;
• Occupational Groups describe each of the unit groups in plain language terms such as Financial auditors and accountants; Mining engineers; and Audiologists and speech-language pathologists. The maximum number of certificates that LSI may issue annually through the Nova Scotia Nominee Program is determined by the federal government.
