Overview
Under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 system, NOC code 75200 covers taxi and limousine drivers and chauffeurs. Individuals in this category are employed by taxi companies, limousine services, or may operate as self-employed drivers. Their primary duties involve operating passenger vehicles, limousines, or vans to transport passengers safely to their destinations. They are also responsible for assisting passengers with luggage, collecting fares, maintaining trip logs, and ensuring the general upkeep and cleanliness of their vehicles.
To work under NOC 75200 in Canada, candidates typically require a high school diploma, a valid driver's license of the appropriate class (such as a Class 4 license in several Canadian provinces), and a clean driving record.

While TEER 5 occupations are not eligible for the Federal Skilled Worker program through Express Entry, candidates may pursue Canadian permanent residency through targeted Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams or specific territorial immigration pathways designed for semi-skilled workers.
