Overview
NOC 95104 designates labourers in rubber and plastic products manufacturing under Canada's National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 system. These individuals perform routine, manual tasks to support the production of rubber and plastic goods. Typical job duties include loading and unloading raw materials, assisting machine operators, removing excess material (trimming and descaling) from molded products, and packing finished items for shipping and distribution. As a TEER 5 occupation, this role generally requires no formal educational credentials, though short work demonstrations or on-the-job training are typically provided.
From an immigration perspective, candidates with experience under NOC 95104 may explore pathways tailored for entry-level and semi-skilled workers. While Federal Express Entry programs primarily focus on higher TEER levels, specific Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) offer targeted streams for manufacturing labourers. Additionally, employers in certain regions may utilize the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) to recruit foreign nationals for these vital manufacturing roles, provided all program-specific criteria and language benchmarks are met.
