What this occupation covers

Official main duties

The NOC profile lists 8 main duties for this code.

• Oversee and analyze operations in forestry, logging, mining, quarrying, or oil and gas operations or in services to logging, mining and oil and gas industries, or in commercial fishing
• Recommend operational changes to senior management when necessary to ensure that production quotas and procedures are met
• Prepare production reports for review by senior management
• Confer with other managers to set production quotas, to plan extraction sites and to develop policies for the removal of raw materials
• Evaluate efficiency of production sites to determine adequacy of personnel, equipment and technologies used, and make changes to work schedule or equipment when necessary
• Ensure adherence to safety regulations
• Hire personnel and oversee training needs of staff
• May direct peripheral activities such as the construction of access roads or temporary living quarters.

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.

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.
