About the National Occupational Classification

The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the national reference for occupations in Canada.

It provides a systematic classification structure that categorizes the entire range of occupational activity in Canada for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating occupational data for labour market information and employment-related program administration.

The National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 is based on a five-tiered hierarchical structure. The first level contains 10 broad occupational categories, the second level is made up of 45 major groups, the third level consists of 89 sub-major groups, the fourth level gathers 162 minor groups, and the last level comprises 516 unit groups.

Occupational information is of critical importance for the provision of labour market and career intelligence, skills development, occupational forecasting, labour supply and demand analysis, employment equity, and numerous other programs and services.

Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program is Being Reduced

 Minister Boissonnault reducing the number of temporary foreign workers in Canada

The Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program is designed as an extraordinary measure to be used only when qualified Canadians and permanent residents are not able to fill job vacancies.

Unfortunately, the TFW Program has been used to circumvent hiring talented workers in Canada. That is why, earlier this month, Minister Boissonnault brought together business organizations to inform them that the Government of Canada was considering reductions in access to the Program, as well as strengthened compliance measures.

Given current labour market conditions, and to further reduce the reliance of Canadian employers on the Program, Randy Boissonnault, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages, announced today that the Government is taking further action to weed out TFW Program misuse and fraud.

In response to the current employment environment, the following changes will be implemented, effective by September 26, 2024:

• The Government of Canada will refuse to process Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) in the Low-Wage stream, applicable in census metropolitan areas with an unemployment rate of 6% or higher. Exceptions will be granted for seasonal and non-seasonal jobs in food security sectors (primary agriculture, food processing and fish processing), as well as construction and healthcare;
• Employers will be allowed to hire no more than 10% of their total workforce through the TFW Program. This maximum employment percentage will be applied to the Low-Wage stream and is a further reduction from the March 2024 reduction. Exceptions will be granted for seasonal and non-seasonal jobs in food security sectors (primary agriculture, food processing and fish processing), as well as healthcare and construction; and
• The maximum duration of employment for workers hired through the Low-Wage stream will be reduced to one year (from two years).

Employers in Canada have a responsibility to invest in the full range of workers available in this country, such as young people, newcomers, and persons with disabilities, who are too often an untapped economic resource in Canada. They must also invest in retraining or upskilling to ensure that those they currently employ can adapt to the economy of the future. The Government of Canada will continue to work with business and organizations to help them find the workers they need and ensure that Canadian workers have the opportunities they deserve, by providing supports for training and education.

The Government of Canada will continue to monitor labour market conditions and introduce further adjustments to the Program as needed in the coming months to ensure that only employers with demonstrable labour market needs have access to the Program. Within the next 90 days, further review will be undertaken of the Program, which could result in changes to the High-Wage Stream, to existing LMIA applications for which positions have not been filled, to sectoral exceptions, or refusing to process other LMIA applications, including for rural areas.

Quick facts

• According to the latest data from the Labour Force Survey, the overall unemployment rate has increased to 6.4% following two consecutive monthly increases in May and June. Canada’s unemployment rate increased 0.2 percentage points to 6.4% in June 2024. The unemployment rate trended up since April 2023, rising 1.3 percentage points over the period. In June 2024, there were 1.4 million unemployed people, an increase of 42,000 (+3.1%) from the previous month. 

• As the labour market has loosened, the Government of Canada began rolling back the pandemic measures aimed at addressing an extraordinary labour shortage. Beginning in October 2023, those adjustments have included gradual reductions to the validity period of Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) from 18 months to 6 months, as well as to the cap on percentage of temporary foreign workers from 30% to 20%, both necessary steps toward bringing the program back to pre-pandemic levels. 

• On August 20, 2024, the Government of Canada announced the approval of a proposal by the Government of Quebec for a temporary freeze on the approval of new Temporary Foreign Workers in the low-wage stream in Montreal. Effective September 3rd, 2024, processing of Labour Market Impact Assessment applications will be discontinued for six months for job offers located in the Montreal region with wages below $27.47/hour, which is the current Quebec median hourly wage.

Canada Government Expedites Temporary Foreign Worker Program

  The Honourable Randy Boissonnault, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages, launched the Recognized Employer Pilot (REP) under the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program. 

REP is a three-year initiative that will help to address labour shortages and reduce the administrative burden for repeat employers participating in the program who demonstrate a history of complying with program requirements.

To participate in REP, employers must have a minimum of three positive LMIAs for the same occupation over the past five years from a list of occupations that have been designated as in-shortage based on Canadian Occupational Projection System data. 

These employers will be subject to a more rigorous upfront assessment process based on their history and track record with the program, ensuring that REP targets employers with the best recruitment practices.

REP will be rolled out in two phases: first, primary agriculture employers will be able to apply starting in September 2023, while all other employers will be eligible to apply in January 2024. Employer applications for REP will close in September 2024.

Effective April 3, 2023, the program transitioned to the LMIA Online Portal as the primary method to submit LMIAs. This shift to an online system will further improve processing and is helping employers address their labour market needs quickly.

Along with the Canadian Occupational Projection System, ESDC uses the National Occupational Classification (NOC, 2021 version) to identify occupations that may face labour shortage or labour surplus conditions over the projection period.

From: Employment and Social Development Canada

The Recognized Employer Pilot (REP) will help to reduce the administrative burden and simplify the hiring process for repeat Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program employers who demonstrate a history of complying with program requirements.

Most employers need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) before they can submit a work permit application to hire a temporary foreign worker. An LMIA confirms that there is a need for a temporary foreign worker and that no Canadians or permanent residents are available to do the job. It also ensures that the employer’s job offer is legitimate, and that the employer has complied with Program requirements to protect workers.

To participate in REP, employers must have a minimum of three positive LMIAs for the same occupation over the past five years from a list of occupations that have been designated as in-shortage and supported using Canadian Occupational Projection System (COPS) data.

Employers who become recognized will gain access to LMIA validity periods of up to 36 months, and, if required, simplified LMIA applications to hire additional workers in the future.

Canada announces extension of post-graduation work permits

 The PGWP post-graduation work permit program allows international graduates to obtain an open work permit to gain valuable Canadian work experience.

The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced "starting April 6, 2023, these measures will allow PGWP holders who wish to stay longer to opt in to a facilitative process to extend their work permit and will allow Canada to retain high-skilled talent".

Foreign nationals whose PGWP has already expired in 2023 and those who were eligible for the 2022 PGWP facilitative measure will also have the opportunity to apply for an additional 18-month work permit. 

Those with expired work permits will be able to restore their status, even if they are beyond the 90-day restoration period, and will receive an interim work authorization while awaiting processing of their new work permit application.

Quick facts:

PGWP holders who are eligible for the facilitative process will soon receive messages about logging into their online IRCC Secure Account, starting April 6, 2023, to opt in and update key personal information.

IRCC is aware of issues that some PGWP holders experienced with the facilitative process used in 2022. Lessons learned from that process have been applied as we implement a similar one. The new public policy will allow anyone who was eligible under the 2022 initiative to apply for an open work permit and to restore their status. Instructions on applying will be available on IRCC’s website in the weeks ahead.

International graduates are an important source of future permanent residents. Tens of thousands successfully transition to permanent residence each year, including more than 157,000 in 2021, a record high, and nearly 95,000 in 2022, the second-highest total ever.

A PGWP is typically not extendable. PGWP holders who want to extend their stay in Canada as a worker are usually expected to apply for another type of work permit as their PGWP expires. Public policies previously adopted in 2021 and 2022 provided the opportunity for an additional work permit for those with expiring PGWPs. 

At the end of 2022, more than 286,000 international graduates were in Canada with a valid post-graduation work permit. About 127,000 PGWPs expire in 2023, though about 67,000 PGWP holders have already applied for permanent residence and won’t need to extend their work permit through this initiative.

International students to help address Canada’s labour shortage

 Limit on off-campus work hours to be lifted temporarily

October 7, 2022—Ottawa—Employers are facing unprecedented challenges in finding and retaining the workers they need during this period of economic recovery and growth. The Government of Canada is continuing to take concrete actions to address current labour needs.

The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, today announced the temporary lifting of the 20-hour-per-week cap on the number of hours that eligible post-secondary students are allowed to work off-campus while class is in session.

From November 15, 2022, until December 31, 2023, international students who are in Canada and who have off-campus work authorization on their study permit will not be restricted by the 20-hour-per-week rule. Foreign nationals who have already submitted a study permit application, as of today, will also be able to benefit from this temporary change, provided their application is approved.

This measure will provide many international students with a greater opportunity to gain valuable work experience in Canada, and will increase the availability of workers to sustain Canada’s post-pandemic growth. With more than 500,000 international students already in Canada available to potentially work additional hours, this temporary change reflects the important role international students can play in addressing our labour shortage, while continuing to pursue their studies. Study permit holders are still expected to balance their study and work commitments, as those who stop studying or reduce course loads to only study part-time are not eligible to work off-campus.

This month, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is also launching a pilot project to automate the processing of study permit extensions. The types of applications being included in this pilot have a consistently high approval rate, as all applicants have previously been approved to study in Canada. The pilot will involve a small group of applicants who could see their extended study permit processed much faster, with the goal of improving client service. Should the pilot be successful, it will be expanded in order to help reduce processing times and allow officers to focus on more complex applications.

Today’s announcement is part of a series of initiatives that aim to benefit international students and graduates, while supporting Canada’s broader efforts to improve client service and application processing times.

Other measures recently launched to benefit international students and recent graduates include:

• a transition period for those studying online from abroad  
• an opportunity for those with expired or expiring post-graduation work permits to get an additional 18-month open work permit.

With unprecedented interest in Canada from applicants around the world, IRCC continues to set the bar higher for immigration processing. Ongoing efforts and client service improvements by the department aim to strengthen Canada’s immigration system, shorten wait times, reduce application backlogs and improve the experience of clients overall.

Quebec stops Scam College Backdoors to Immigration

 Yes Polly Anna there are scam career colleges that abuse education, immigration and labour laws to extract huge amounts of money from internationals.

Quebec is protecting their taxpayers, their workforce and the integrity of their education system by closing these backdoors.

The scam career colleges degrade the value of both Quebec's and Canada's education reputation. Since taxpayers pay billions each year to educate Canadians they have to protect the tax dollars and the value of taxpayer investment into Canadians.

This small group of self-serving criminals are out there eroding the value of Canada using garbage, self manufactured textbooks, unproven training programs and unqualified trainers. Many of these scam colleges do not have adequate attendance, administration, teaching or placement programs. 

You must ask yourself why would someone pay $10,000 or 15,000 for a textbook with 50 mistakes on each page, and unqualified staff.

Some agents actually promise  a hacked school computer system where the students just give themselves 90% on tests and 100% attendance,  The ability to work "full time" because of the hacked computer system. The fake marks can get "students" into a better school or a job after "graduation" and presto after 4 years apply for immigration.

The damage these scam colleges cause are widespread. The scam college textbooks with 50 mistakes on each page have been used by agents to show international students that education is terrible in Canada - and students should go anywhere but Canada. 

These garbage self-manufactured textbooks alone have cost Canada millions of dollars.

The career colleges have been lobbying for years to secure  their "free intern" programs - we can blame  a large % of Canadian youth unemployment on jobs taken by free interns that eliminate the ability of Canadian youth to get work experience or any chance of earning a salary as an intern.

The scam career colleges are promoting a type of slavery and destroying parts of the labour market.

Links to the Quebec announcements: Obtaining a post-graduation work permit

At the end of your studies, if you wish to work in Québec, you can submit an application for a post-graduation work permit  from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.  

Your post-graduation work permit is valid for up to the same length as your study program. It allows you to work for any eligible employer in Canada.

On June 7, 2022, changes were made to the eligibility conditions for post-graduation work permits for international students enrolled in certain study programs and educational institutions in Québec.

Visit the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website  to know which programs and institutions give access to this type of work permit.

Everything you need to know about the process to come and study in Quebec.

PCC's and Career Colleges Beware of Post Pandemic Predators

 What happened to @#$%&* College

@#$%&* College started as a nice little Canadian career college.

According to Stats Canada in 2006, 87% of 25- to 29-year-olds graduated from high school and both colleges and universities together graduated about 54 % of the population.

The real natural market for Canadian Private Career Colleges (PCC's), counting all the dropouts and career changers as well as those training to re-entering the job market, is 11.5 % of the population. 

Canada consistently ranks in the top 8% of multicultural public education systems in the world. The USA ranks in the bottom 30% in the world scale of public education and with a college grad level of about 31%.

Some estimates that up to 38% of the USA population need PCC training to enter many of the job markets.

Many big flashy USA based education investors look at general demographics and make the mistake of thinking WOW in Canada only 1.5 % of the student population goes to PCCs - we can make a killing with a PCC up in Canada.

If you add some USA based accelerated tax benefits + perception of an untapped market you will have some investors  rush or get pushed in.

When a big flashy USA mutual fund waves 10 Million in front of the smaller Canadian PCC operators and says can you spend all the money expanding as quickly as possible ? You know the PCC's will say yes without reading all the fine print.

The fine print says if you do not meet targets - we will take over - what else is not in the weaponized fine print - we will pay ourselves huge fees - we will run the school for our benefit not anyone else.

@#$%&* was operated the USA way - wild spending to obtain initial tax credits - USA sales targets not met - the takeover - huge management fees to mutual fund manager - wild cost cutting to punish @#$%&* students, staff and minority investors. 

We do not have access to all the accounting but it looks like the mutual fund investors lost the initial 10 million dollar private equity investment. The mutual fund management company paid themselves huge fees to make the investment - take over the company - run the company into the ground then when it was dead with no cash or cash flow tried to sell it failed to sell at any price and finally just gave it back to the original minority investors - who by this time had over 5 years of no revenue and suffered a complete loss.

The @#$%&* had hundreds of complaints on social media by students, staff, teachers and creditors. The @#$%&* was stripped of student government tuition funding OSAP - this is a huge loss. @#$%&* was famous for having 2 SRO Career Regulators suing to stop prep classes at @#$%&* as all recent students failed and were inadequately prepared with knowledge or skills to perform in those careers.

@#$%&* was like a victim of the Russian scorched earth policy when retreating from the Nazis in WW2.

If you're counting: 

-all private equity investors down about 15 million in total, 

-students wasted 1,500 hours  and about 25 million and 

-the  Ontario government lost deadbeat college loans of about 18 million. 

-USA Private Mutual Management Company "earned" about 11.5 million.

In the next article we will explain what else the mutual fund management company did to make money.

The big flashy USA mutual fund has waved 10 Million to another small PCC - told them to expand  - you just have to get these easy registration numbers - whoops they just took over !!!

I am sure that you can understand why the warnings should go out about this criminal organization.

Another reason the big flashy mutual fund manager operates outside of the USA is that it would attract RICO attention.  The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. 

There are a few smoking guns at @#$%&* to indicate some of the crimes and you guessed it there are a few smoking guns in the new victim PCC. 

The police and regulators will let one tragic investment loss slide - everyone is allowed one bad situation because of inexperience, stupidity, maybe a pandemic,  however, when it happens the second time and third time - everyone knows it is criminal activity by design.

NEW Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program Workforce Solutions

 The Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, Carla Qualtrough, announced the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program Workforce Solutions Road Map. This initiative marks the next step in an ongoing effort to adjust and improve the TFW Program to ensure it continues to meet the labour market needs of today. 

Five key policy changes will be implemented in the coming weeks as part of the TFW Program Workforce Solutions Road Map to respond to current labour and skills shortages.

Effective immediately:

• To address seasonal peaks, there will no longer be a limit to the number of low-wage positions that employers in seasonal industries, such as fish and seafood processing, can fill through the TFW Program. This makes permanent the Seasonal Cap Exemption that has been in place since 2015.  In addition, the maximum duration of these positions will be increased from 180 days to 270 days per year.
• Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) will be valid for 18 months, an increase from 9 months. (Prior to COVID-19, LMIA’s were valid for 6 months).
• The maximum duration of employment for High-Wage and Global Talent Streams workers will be extended from two years to three years. This extension will help workers access pathways to qualify for permanent residency, enabling them to contribute to our workforce for the long-term.

Effective April 30:

• For seven sectors with demonstrated labour shortages, such as Accommodation and Food Services, employers will be allowed to hire up to 30% of their workforce through the TFW Program for low-wage positions for one year.  All other employers will be allowed to hire up to 20% of their workforce through the TFW Program for low-wage positions until further notice, an increase from the former 10% cap for many employers.
• The Government will end the current policy that automatically refuses LMIA applications for low-wage occupations in the Accommodation and Food Services and Retail Trade sectors in regions with an unemployment rate of 6% or higher.

Quick facts

• The TFW Program allows employers in Canada to hire a foreign worker when no Canadians or permanent residents are available.

• The Canadian labour market is tighter than before the pandemic and the job vacancy rate reached an historic peak in the 3rd quarter of 2021.  Much of the unmet demand is in low-wage occupations and, according to Statistics Canada, in November 2021 the following sectors were facing the highest number of vacancies:

  • Accommodation and Food Services – 130,070 vacancies
  • Health Care and Social Assistance – 119,590 vacancies
  • Retail Trade – 103,990 vacancies
  • Manufacturing –  81,775 vacancies

• Approximately 50,000 to 60,000 foreign agricultural workers come to work in Canada each year, which accounts for more than 60% of all foreign workers entering Canada under the TFW Program.

Canada will require 100,000 new engineers before 2025.

There are many engineering jobs in demand in Canada.

Engineering jobs will be available for disciplines that include: Civil; Mechanical; Electrical, Computer Engineering; and more.

The world is currently experiencing a shortage of engineers. The shortage isn’t limited to a single country, either. Nations worldwide are reporting shortages in a variety of engineering fields. In Canada, there are a little over 250,000 currently employed engineers. Experts estimate that by 2020, approximately 95,000 of those engineers will reach retirement.

There’s also the issue of losing senior engineers. 62% of employers say that new engineering graduates do not have the skills they need, reports The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)

According to a labour market report conducted by Engineers Canada, Canada will require 100,000 new engineers before 2025.

With Canadian University engineering programs churning out approximately 12,000 new engineers each year, there simply isn’t enough talent to replace retiring engineers.

Canada is well known for producing some of the world’s top engineers, with 3 Canadian schools ranking on the list of the world’s top 50 engineering schools

Link to University of Toronto

One issue facing the engineering industry is the lack of young people interested in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).

We must strive to get more young people interested in these fields early. Canada designating March as National Engineering Month is a good start.

How to get money and advice to run a summer business in Ontario.

For Ontario students aged 15 to 29 with a business idea? 

The Summer Company program  can help you launch and operate a business this summer. The program provides:

• Business training and mentorship to help you get your business up and running
• Opportunity for a grant up to $3,000 to help you launch your business

How it works

Through a program called Summer Company, you can get:

• start-up money to kick-off a new summer business
• advice and mentorship from local business leaders to help get the business up and running

Learning how to run your own student business is one of the best summer jobs you can have. You get to be your own boss while learning what it takes to manage a business. 

Sales, marketing, bookkeeping, customer relationship management and networking are just a few of the highly useful skills you’ll develop.

Maximum award: $3,000
Successful Summer Company applicants get:

• up to $1,500 up front to help with start-up costs
• up to $1,500 when you successfully complete the program requirements

You could be eligible, if you:

• go to high school, college or university
• live in Ontario
• are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
• are between 15-29 years old (if under 18: a parent or guardian must sign the agreement for the applicant)
• are not already running a business
• are not working at another job or going to school for more than 12 hours a week during the program
• are returning to school after the program ends

You cannot apply again, if you have received a Summer Company grant in the past.

If you are on social assistance (Ontario Works or Ontario Disability Support Program) you can still apply to Summer Company. Payments from the program may be exempt as income and assets under social assistance, so your monthly social assistance payment may not be affected.

Simple Application Process

1. Check your Eligibility
   The first step is to check your eligibility. To be considered for the Summer Company Program, you must answer a few questions to see if you are eligible to apply to the program.
2. Make an Application Inquiry
   If you meet the eligibility requirements, the next step is to complete your Application Inquiry. When selecting a Program Provider, select “Enterprise Toronto” (Scarborough, North York or Downtown). We will contact you and send you information, program schedule and document templates to complete your application package, which includes a business plan, start up budget and cash flow forecast.
3. Submit Your Application
   Next step is to submit your program application, which will need to include your business plan, start up budget and cash flow forecast. Qualified applicants will be contacted for an interview. Selected candidates will be contacted and invited to participate in the program.

Ready to apply? Complete your eligibility checklist  to get started.

Application deadline: 5 p.m. Friday, April 29, 2022
