95101

Under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021, NOC 95101 classified as "Labourers in metal fabrication" encompasses workers who perform material handling, clean-up, and basic assisting tasks in metal fabrication, sheet metal, and structural metal shops. Classified under TEER 5, these entry-level positions primarily involve assisting skilled tradespeople such as sheet metal workers, structural metal and platework fabricators, and metalworking machine operators. Common job titles under this classification include metalworking machine helper, blacksmith helper, and plater helper.

The typical duties of NOC 95101 labourers include loading and unloading metal products, transporting raw materials and finished parts manually or using powered equipment, cleaning work areas and machinery, and performing basic tasks like scraping, grinding, or sandblasting. While there are no formal educational requirements strictly mandated by the ESDC, some secondary school education is often preferred by employers, and on-the-job training is typically provided. For Canadian immigration, candidates in TEER 5 occupations do not qualify for Federal Skilled Worker programs directly but may explore specific pathways such as the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) targeting semi-skilled and entry-level positions, or localized pilot programs.

Accurately matching your work experience to the official ESDC definitions is critical for a successful Canadian immigration application.
