Which NOC/TEER code should I choose when my duties match more than one?

Choose the NOC whose lead statement and main duties best match what you actually did — not just your job title. IRCC compares your reference letter duties against the official NOC description, so the code must honestly reflect your day-to-day work. Picking a code just because it looks better for a category draw is risky and can lead to refusal. Our NOC Finder can help you compare codes side by side.
