Official main duties

The NOC profile lists 9 main duties for this code.

• Monitor school buildings and grounds to help ensure the security of the students and the school
• Monitor student's lockers and lunch areas
• Monitor students during recess, at noon hour or during the day on school grounds
• Record and report students' absences, accidents, behaviours and issues
• May monitor security cameras and report incidents and infractions
• May supervise tests, school detention, and other related activities
• May prepare classroom or equipment such as projectors and other audio-visual or electronic equipment for special activities.
• Coordinate the flow of pedestrians across selected intersection with the flow of vehicles
• Direct and assist students at school crossing locations.

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 9 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.
