Description

The Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration (LSI) issues nomination certificates to prospective immigrants who meet a labour market need and who will make a contribution to Nova Scotia’s economy. Nominees then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for a permanent resident visa. In 2023, LSI began using the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 to designate the occupational group that nominees fall under. This was a transitional year and NOC 2016 values are also present, as they were in all years prior to 2023. The NOC is Canada’s national system for describing occupations. The NOC comprises more than 40,000 job titles gathered into 516 unit groups, organized according to six Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) categories and ten broad occupational categories. 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 https://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.
