What this occupation covers

Plastic products assemblers, finishers and inspectors assemble, finish and inspect plastic parts and finished products. They are employed by plastic products manufacturing companies and plastic parts divisions of aircraft or other manufacturing companies.

Official main duties

The NOC profile lists 10 main duties for this code.

• Operate machines or equipment, or use hand tools to cut, shape, splice and fit plastic materials to form parts and assemblies
• Assemble composite materials on patterns to form parts and assemblies using bonding agents
• Operate spray-gun unit to apply resin mixtures to metal or wooden mould to form plastic products
• Load and operate autoclave oven to cure and bond plastic and composite parts and subassemblies
• Operate finishing equipment to trim, grind or buff plastic products into final form.

• Affix seals or tags to approved plastic products and mark and reroute defective products for repair or recycle
• Prepare reports on products inspected
• Make minor adjustments and repairs to products
• May train or assist in training new workers.

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 10 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.
