What this occupation covers

Official main duties

The NOC profile lists 8 main duties for this code.

• Supervise, plan, assign and review the work of clerks engaged in the following duties: shipping, receiving, storing, distributing and maintaining inventories of materials, parts and products; processing purchasing transactions; coordinating production work; dispatching crews; scheduling transportation crews and routes and other related activities
• Ensure compliance with policies, procedures for safety and security, standards and regulations in force and participate in their improvement
• Resolve various problems and related complaints and implement corrective measures and process improvements
• Train workers in job duties
• Requisition supplies and materials
• Ensure smooth operation of computer systems, equipment and machinery and arrange for maintenance and repair work
• May conduct performance reviews of supervised workers
• May perform the same duties as workers supervised.

Do not copy these lines into your reference letter. The letter has to describe what you actually did, in your employer’s words. DUTYPROOF flags wording lifted from the NOC as something to review, and an officer reading a letter that mirrors the NOC reads it the same way.

What DUTYPROOF screens for

This is DUTYPROOF’s screening threshold, not IRCC’s decision. For this NOC, screening requires at least 2 of its 8 official duties to be evidenced in your own words, plus the required letter elements. IRCC asks that you performed the actions in the occupation’s lead statement and a substantial number of its main duties — so treat the duty coverage as the number that matters, not the badge.

Same job title, a different TEER

These job titles are filed under 12013 and also under the code below, which sits at a different TEER level. TEER affects which immigration programs an application can use and how work experience is counted, so this is not a labelling detail.

Your job title does not decide your code. The duties your reference letter actually describes do — which is the one thing a search engine cannot check for you.

Codes this one is confused with

The NOC profile names these itself. Choosing the wrong code of a look-alike pair is the most common way genuine work experience fails to establish eligibility.
