95102 Labourers in chemical products processing and utilities

What this occupation covers

Labourers in chemical products processing and utilities carry out a variety of material handling, cleaning and routine general labouring activities. They are employed by petroleum and natural gas processing, pipeline and petrochemical, chemical and pharmaceutical companies, and by electrical, water and waste treatment utilities and services.

Official main duties

The NOC profile lists 5 main duties for this code.

• Feed and unload production machinery and equipment
• Clean chemical processing machines and equipment and production areas
• Move, sort and pile materials and products manually and using powered equipment
• Assist other workers to operate, repair and maintain process equipment, gas distribution, water filtration and waste plant equipment
• Perform general duties such as basic construction, painting and other manual tasks.

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 5 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.
