Overview
Under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 system, shippers and receivers are classified under NOC code 14400. This unit group encompasses individuals who ship, receive, and record the movement of parts, supplies, materials, equipment, and stock to and from various establishments. Commonly employed in retail, wholesale, manufacturing, and commercial sectors, these positions require a secondary school graduation or on-the-job training, placing this occupation within the TEER 4 category.
For Canadian immigration purposes, individuals qualifying under NOC 14400 have several pathways to permanent residency despite TEER 4 classifications historically having different requirements than high-skilled roles. Prospective applicants can target specific semi-skilled streams of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP), or seek entry through temporary foreign worker programs utilizing a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Candidates must demonstrate they meet the specific employment requirements, including the ability to operate material handling equipment and maintain inventory records.
Essential duties under this classification include verifying and keeping records on incoming and outgoing shipments, preparing items for shipment, and coordinating with transport companies. To qualify for Canadian immigration programs, applicants must meet the strict language, education, and work experience criteria outlined by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
