62021 Executive housekeepers

What this occupation covers

Executive housekeepers direct and control the operations of housekeeping departments within hotels, hospitals and other establishments.

Official main duties

The NOC profile lists 7 main duties for this code.

• Manage the operations of the housekeeping department
• Plan and coordinate the activities of housekeeping supervisors and their crews
• Conduct inspections to ensure that departmental standards and health and safety regulations are being met
• Select and purchase equipment and supplies, and maintain inventory
• Arrange for maintenance and repair of equipment and machinery
• Hire, train and supervise housekeeping staff
• Maintain financial records and prepare budgets, payroll and employee schedules.

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.
