Overview
Under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 system, NOC 84111 covers Silviculture and forestry workers. Classified as TEER 4, these professionals play a critical role in Canada's forestry sector, primarily focusing on reforestation and forest management activities. Common job titles under this unit group include tree planter, forest firefighter, clearing saw operator, and silviculture worker. They are employed by forestry companies, logging contractors, and government agencies to maintain, protect, and regenerate Canada's forest resources.
The primary duties for individuals working under NOC 84111 involve physical outdoor labor, such as planting seedlings, spacing and thinning trees using chainsaws or brush cutters, clearing brush, spraying chemical or organic agents to control weeds, and assisting in forest fire suppression efforts. While formal education requirements are generally flexible, completion of secondary school is sometimes required, along with specific on-the-job training or certificates (such as chainsaw safety or first aid) depending on the employer and province.
As TEER 4 workers, individuals under NOC 84111 may qualify for Canadian permanent residency through specific Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) that target semi-skilled labor, or pathways like the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP). Applicants must meet the language, work experience, and educational requirements specified by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for their chosen stream.
