12104 Employment insurance and revenue officers

What this occupation covers

Employment insurance and revenue officers administer and enforce laws and regulations related to tax revenue, employment insurance and other government benefit services. They are employed by government agencies.

Official main duties

The NOC profile lists 7 main duties for this code.

• Audit accounting records to determine income, exemptions, payable taxes, compliance with reporting regulations and existence of fraud
• Examine accounting systems and internal controls of organizations
• Provide advice on reporting and evaluation methods for goods subject to taxation
• Prepare briefs and assist in searching and seizing records, and in preparing charges for court cases.
• Determine the eligibility of persons applying for government benefits such as Employment Insurance (EI), Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS)
• Ascertain the facts on such issues as reasons for loss of employment and availability for work
• Monitor the payments of benefits and investigate claimants when there appears to be fraud or abuse.

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 7 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.

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.
