NOC 65100Cashiers

Under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 system, Cashiers are classified under NOC code 65100. This occupation falls under TEER 5, which encompasses jobs that typically require a short work demonstration and no formal educational requirements. Cashiers are employed by retail stores, supermarkets, department stores, restaurants, gas stations, and various other businesses. Their primary responsibilities involve operating cash registers, optical price scanners, or computers to record transactions, accepting payments via cash, credit, or debit cards, and issuing receipts, refunds, or change to customers.

To work as a cashier in Canada, there are usually no formal academic requirements, though some secondary school education is often preferred. On-the-job training is typically provided by employers. Because NOC 65100 is classified as TEER 5, it is considered an entry-level occupation. Consequently, individuals in this role are generally ineligible for federal Express Entry pathways like the Federal Skilled Worker Program. However, prospective immigrants can still pursue Canadian permanent residency through specific provincial pathways, including semi-skilled streams of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) or specialized regional immigration initiatives.
