One scrollable page covers the labour market for that occupation in a Canadian region, the official ESDC boundary, what the work is like (OaSIS), which programs list the code, and — for work history — whether an employment letter supports the job you claimed. It is **not** an IRCC assessment. Market figures come from published ESDC / Job Bank series; letter and fit results are advisory. ```media id: noc-intelligence-hero type: screenshot caption: Identity bar, Compare market, and wage position for a Canadian role. shot: /app/profile/work-experience/[id]/insights on a Pro demo job with a NOC (e.g. 21211).

Open [**Profile → Work Experience**](https://my.lexpoint.io/app/profile/work-experience) or [**Profile → Job Offers**](https://my.lexpoint.io/app/profile/job-offers). 2. On a row that already has a NOC, open actions and choose **NOC Intelligence →**. 3. The page title is **NOC {code} Intelligence**. Breadcrumbs read **Work experience → NOC Intelligence** (or Job offers). ## Page map Sections appear in this order on a Pro work-history page. Job offers omit letter & NOC fit. Free accounts see the wage teaser, then an upgrade wall and blurred previews of what Pro unlocks. | Anchor | Section | Work history | Job offer | |---|---|---|---| | `#wage` | Wage position | Yes | Yes (offer-aware copy) | | `#wage-trend` | Wage trend | Yes | Yes | | `#market` | Local demand · Employment outlook · LMIA positions summary | Yes | Yes | | (LMIA block) | Employers approved for this NOC | Yes | Yes | | `#letter-fit` | Employment letter · NOC fit | Yes | No | | `#programs` | Immigration pathways | Yes | Yes | | `#duties` | NOC definition · ESDC | Yes | Yes | | `#oasis` | Occupational profile · OaSIS | Yes | Yes | | `#neighbours` | Occupational neighbours | Yes | Yes | | `#employer` | Your employer | Yes | Varies | | `#sources` | Data sources footer | Yes | Yes | **Compare market** (Pro) sits in the identity bar. It switches the economic region for wages, demand, outlook, and LMIA without changing the job record. Foreign work defaults to **Ottawa** so you can browse a Canadian market without comparing foreign pay to Job Bank. ## Wage position For Canadian work, Lexpoint places your claimed hourly wage on the Job Bank band for the selected region (low / median / high) and can compare to the province. For foreign work, the band is the selected Canadian region only — no “your wage sits in…” comparison against foreign pay. Free accounts see this section as a teaser; Pro keeps the full instrument and unlocks everything below. ## Wage trend ```media id: noc-intelligence-wage-trend type: screenshot caption: Multi-year Job Bank wage band for the selected region, with median and spread changes. shot: Same insights URL, scrolled to #wage-trend. Demo plate stamped. src: /media/individuals/noc-intelligence-wage-trend.webp ``` Pro shows how the low–median–high band moved across recent vintages for this NOC in the selected region (for example median up while the top of the band fell). Use it to see whether the market is tightening or spreading — not as a personal raise forecast. ## Local demand **Local demand** is monthly **Job Bank** posting counts for this NOC in the selected region’s economic area. The headline is the latest month’s open postings; the sparkline shows the recent series. Scope may note when figures are wider than a single town. ## Employment outlook **Employment outlook** is ESDC’s published three-year rating for this occupation in the selected region (for example *limited*, *moderate*, *good* — wording matches ESDC). Lexpoint shows the horizon years and a short note on where that rating sits among ESDC’s scale. **Undetermined** is a real published rating when ESDC did not assign a stronger one — not a Lexpoint gap. ## LMIA activity and employers ```media id: noc-intelligence-market type: screenshot caption: Local demand sparkline, employment outlook rating, LMIA position total, and employers approved for the NOC. shot: Same insights URL, scrolled to #market through the LMIA employers list. Demo plate stamped. src: /media/individuals/noc-intelligence-market.webp ``` Two related surfaces: | Piece | What it shows | |---|---| | **LMIA positions summary** (beside outlook) | Count of approved TFWP LMIA **positions** for this NOC in the region scope, plus decision count and quarter range. | | **Employers approved for NOC …** | Named employers from positive LMIA decisions, with period and position counts. Toggle **local** vs **province** scope. Personal names are omitted. | These are published employer-list / decision aggregates for that NOC — not a statement that any employer will hire you, and not an immigration approval. ## Employment letter and NOC fit (work history only) One document answers two questions: is the letter strong enough to prove the job, and do the duties match the NOC you claimed? ```media id: noc-intelligence-letter-fit type: screenshot caption: Employment letter checklist beside NOC fit gates. shot: Same insights URL, scrolled to #letter-fit after a letter has been assessed. Demo plate stamped. src: /media/individuals/noc-intelligence-letter-fit.webp ``` | Plane | What it asks | |---|---| | **Employment letter** | Checklist items grounded in the uploaded letter (and typed guide fields Lexpoint extracts). | | **NOC fit** | Main duties overlap, education, prior work, licence lines, language floor, and wage vs published low — reported as **fit strength**, not a false confidence percentage. | Select **Add employment letter**, or **Replace letter** and **Re-check** once one is assessed. Results stay on the page (`#letter-fit`). :::note[Advisory only] A pass or fail here is Lexpoint’s reading of your letter and profile against the claimed NOC. It is not a government decision. ::: ## Immigration pathways ```media id: noc-intelligence-programs type: screenshot caption: How many assessed programs list the NOC, with federal chips and provincial tiles. shot: Same insights URL, scrolled to #programs. Demo plate stamped. src: /media/individuals/noc-intelligence-programs.webp ``` Coverage means the **occupation rule** in Lexpoint’s catalogue includes that NOC. It does **not** mean you meet language, funds, residency, or other criteria. Expand provinces or **List all … streams** for the full matrix. Advice on whether a pathway fits you belongs on [immigratic.com](https://www.immigratic.com) or a consultation. ## NOC definition (ESDC) ```media id: noc-intelligence-definition type: screenshot caption: Illustrative titles and linked exclusions before the official ESDC definition. shot: Same insights URL, scrolled to #duties. Demo plate stamped. src: /media/individuals/noc-intelligence-definition.webp ``` Titles under the code and **Not this code** exclusions come first so you can see the boundary. **Read the official ESDC definition** opens verbatim duties and employment requirements (NOC 2021). Nothing in that disclosure is paraphrased. ## Occupational profile (OaSIS) ```media id: noc-intelligence-oasis type: screenshot caption: OaSIS interest profile, work-context meters, and duty-similar neighbours. shot: Same insights URL, scrolled to #oasis through #neighbours. Demo plate stamped. src: /media/individuals/noc-intelligence-oasis.webp ``` **OaSIS** (Statistics Canada / ESDC occupational layer) describes what the work is *like* — not whether your claim is correct: - A short lead statement for the profile - Interest (Holland) cards when available - Work-context meters on a five-point scale (responsibility, consequence of error, decision freedom, and related ratings) - A footnote that the underlying model spans proficiency, knowledge, and complexity descriptors OaSIS is occupational character (useful for HR / LMIA / work-permit context). It is **not** an IRCC score. ## Occupational neighbours Below OaSIS, Lexpoint lists occupations with a similar **Skills and Work Activities** fingerprint (or an OaSIS similarity band, depending on the profile). Each row shows TEER, NOC code, and often how many catalogue programs list that neighbour. A neighbour with more programs is **not** a reason to reclassify yourself. A different NOC only applies if your actual duties match it. ## Your employer On Canadian work history with an employer name, Pro shows that name and notes that corporate registry / integrity matching is still shipping. Foreign roles show that employer registry detail is for Canadian work history only. Empty employer names prompt you to add one on the job form. ## Sources The footer (`#sources`) names the series behind the numbers: Job Bank wages (vintage and history), Job Bank monthly postings, ESDC employment outlook horizon, TFWP LMIA lists, ESDC NOC 2021, OaSIS, and Lexpoint’s program catalogue. Prefer that line when you need to cite what you are looking at. ## Free versus Pro | | Free | ImmiReport Pro | |---|---|---| | Open the page | Yes | Yes | | Wage position | Teaser | Full | | Wage trend, local demand, outlook, LMIA employers | Blurred / wall | Unlocked | | Programs, ESDC definition, OaSIS, neighbours, region compare | Wall | Unlocked | | Employment letter & NOC fit (work history) | Wall | Unlocked | See [Free and Pro](/individuals/getting-started/free-and-pro/) for price and the rest of the Pro list. ## Related - [Work experience](/individuals/profile/work-experience/) — jobs you have already done - [Job offers](/individuals/profile/job-offers/) — offers you have not necessarily started - [Free and Pro](/individuals/getting-started/free-and-pro/) — what the upgrade unlocks - [How your profile is used](/individuals/profile/how-your-profile-is-used/) — what reads work history and offers ## Frequently asked questions ### Where do I open NOC Intelligence? On Work experience or Job offers, open the actions for a role that has a NOC, then choose NOC Intelligence. ### Is this an IRCC decision? No. Letter checks and NOC fit are advisory. Program coverage means the occupation rule lists that NOC — not that you meet language, funds, or residency. Outlook and LMIA figures are published labour-market data, not an approval. ### What is free versus Pro? Free accounts can open the page and see wage position for the role’s region. Pro unlocks wage trend, local demand, employment outlook, LMIA employers, programs, ESDC definition, OaSIS, neighbours, region compare, and — on work history only — employment letter and NOC fit. ### Why is there no letter section on a job offer? Employment letter and NOC fit are for work you have already done. Job-offer NOC Intelligence is the labour-market and program story for that offer’s NOC. ### What does Compare market change? On Pro it switches the economic region used for wages, demand, outlook, and LMIA scope so you can preview another Canadian market. Your home region stays on the Clear control.
