1. Find your job here: http://noc.esdc.gc.ca/English/noc/welcome.aspx?ver=16
2. Then check the Matrix to see if your job is NOC A, B or O. here: http://noc.esdc.gc.ca/English/NOC/Matrix.aspx?ver=16

Your National Occupation Classification (NOC) code is the number the job is listed under in Canada’s official job classification system. 

In certain cases, such as the  http://www.immigration.ca/skilled-worker-immigration-overview/" rel="nofollow - Federal Skilled Worker Program , candidates require a minimum of one year of work experience to qualify under Express Entry.

The experience also needs to be in a field referenced under Canada’s NOC 0, A or B.

  • Skill Type 0 i.e. managerial occupations
  • Skill Level A i.e. professional occupations or,
  • Skill Level B i.e. technical occupations and skilled trades

Work experience is an important factor considered under  http://www.immigration.ca/express-entry-immigration-2017/" rel="nofollow - Canada Express Entry , and must meet specific requirements and skill levels.

Up to 80 points can be gained towards a candidate’s  http://www.immigration.ca/comprehensive-ranking-system-crs/" rel="nofollow - Comprehensive Ranking System  score with five years of work experience in a specific field.

Candidates can also accumulate work experience while they are in the Express Entry Pool, scoring extra points while in the pool.
