Overview

NOC 72423 covers motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle (ATV), and other related mechanics under Canada's NOC 2021 system. Classified as a TEER 2 occupation, professionals in this unit group are responsible for diagnosing, repairing, adjusting, and servicing motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, and similar small-engine power equipment. Because of its TEER 2 classification, this occupation is eligible for key Canadian economic immigration pathways, including the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) managed under the Express Entry system.

To qualify under NOC 72423 for Canadian immigration, candidates must meet specific employment requirements defined by the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). This typically requires completion of secondary school and a three- to four-year apprenticeship program, or a combination of over four years of work experience in the trade and some high school, college, or industry courses. Trade certification is compulsory in Ontario and voluntary in all other provinces and territories. Demonstrating compliance with these provincial regulations is crucial for a successful immigration application.

In addition to federal programs, skilled mechanics under NOC 72423 can explore various Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) that target in-demand skilled trades. Successfully obtaining a provincial nomination can significantly increase a candidate's Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, virtually guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
