The National Occupational Classification or NOC is used by different governing bodies such as CIC to determine labour market information and demand for specific occupations. A new tool has been developed on this site (see link above) which will be very helpful to job seekers especially newcomers.
When you click above, you will see a box half way down the page called the "working in Canada tool". Enter the occupational title or NOC Code (in order to determine your occupation's noc code, you can enter your job title in the left side menu bar and click 'go' and then it will give you a list of occupations.
Once you enter the job title click 'continue' and a new window pops up which will have one or more occupational categories. It will ask you to confirm then continue. This will lead to a page with a brief discription of the occupation then the next page will ask for your province after which you will select your specific geographic area in that province.
The next page will have summaries of the following information associated with that job or occupation:
-Licence and certification (if any professional licencing requirements exist for that occupation)
-Main duties (what that job entails)
- Job and Skills requirements (what type of background, skillset, physical demands etc of that job)
- Job opportunities (This is a big one. This actually lists what jobs in your area are currently available and lists the job postings ..its veryhelpful)
- Wages (it gives you wage information from low to high and average wages in your region.
- Outlook and prospects (long term growth and availability of work in this occupation)
- Education and training required (what specific training employers are looking for)
- Associations and Unions (if any)
- Newcomers to Canada (again another good section. It provides resources such as important contact information across the country and websites for newcomers)
- Further assistance (provices addresses of nearest service canada locations to you)
You can print all the sections or the ones you want. Its very fast and easy.
I use this site for my work and its very helpful.
msg. me if you need any further assistance or have questions about this link.

Thanks for the link.
However, I would like to state here that I have strong antipathy to any claim by the Federal or provincial Govt. The point to be noted is that ALL the professional organizations in Canada regulating entry to the profession do not recognize qualifications or experience. Not only that, the recruitment process is highly non transparent and unfair.
A further point to be noted that even if one succeeds getting in the Govt. job, the promotion process is highly unfair and in most cases subjective.
One is destined to be a low level paper pusher in Govt. job

This is not a tool to get information about government jobs. This is for every single occupation or job title in Canada.
