The Entry Level/Semi-Skilled Occupations helps employers fill shortages for entry-level jobs when they cannot find a Canadian candidate locally or nationally for a position. This category is for occupations that fall under National Occupation Classification (NOC) TEER 4 or 5.
To be eligible, foreign nationals must have worked fulltime in the same position with the employer for twelve (12) months and have a work permit that expires in 2025.
There is a minimum language requirement that ensures the foreign national is able to communicate in English or French. This requirement must be met at the time the application is made, and proof of testing must be provided.
For further information about mandatory eligibility criteria, refer to the program guidelines.
