Which NOC code has the highest chance of being selected for PNP?
The National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes with the highest chances of selection in Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws typically align with labor market demands in specific provinces. Each province has its own priorities and target industries, but here are some NOC categories commonly in demand across multiple provinces:
Province-Specific Demand: Some NOCs are more in demand in specific provinces. For example, tech occupations are a priority in Ontario and BC, while agriculture-related jobs are sought in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Job Offer Advantage: A job offer in an in-demand occupation significantly boosts chances.
Language Proficiency and Experience: Higher CLB scores and relevant work experience increase eligibility.
