The National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 is the official ESDC / Statistics Canada system of occupations. Each is a 5-digit code; the second digit is its TEER (skill) category.
Match your actual day-to-day duties to the code's official definition and main duties. If your real work fits a different (“look-alike”) code better, that mismatch is what gets flagged.
The occupation data comes from Statistics Canada / ESDC NOC 2021. The tool itself is informational, not legal advice, and not affiliated with IRCC.
