Find Your Occupation
Search by 5-digit NOC code, real job title or broad keyword such as healthcare, health care, childcare, construction, CNA, bank teller or software engineer. Real job titles are checked against the official Government of Canada NOC 2021 job-title search.
What “Priority” Means
- Care: targeted occupations in health care, childcare, education and veterinary care.
- Build: targeted certified construction trades.
- Innovate: High Economic Impact invitations can target top talent across sectors; there is no fixed Innovate occupation list.
Priority Does Not Mean Automatic PR
- You must still qualify for a current BC PNP stream and meet employer, job offer, wage, language, experience and licensing requirements.
- The Skilled Worker stream currently uses eligible TEER 0, 1, 2 and 3 occupations.
- Some occupations are specifically ineligible for all BC PNP Skills Immigration streams.
Important: this finder is an information tool, not an eligibility decision. B.C. can change priorities, targeted occupations and invitation factors. Always assess the complete BC PNP requirements before applying.
