noc catogery
Can someone tell me does noc 9231 come into type a,b, or o category? i think it does but ive been informed it doesnt. According to NOC matrix 2006 it is B, anyone concur.
Also, work experience, i have experience as a joiner/carpenter, however it is over ten years ago, does CIC only take into account the last ten years work experience?
Thanks jim

Hi Jim.
If you go to the Wiki (on blue bar at top of page), type NOC into the search then it takes you to a link for the NOC matrix which will give you the information you need.
If you are talking about going over on a TWP, then yes, you need recent experience in the job you are going to do - there is no way a company will get a LMO if you don't have it. A LMO will only be issued if they've advertised the job for at least 3 months (or 7 days if your occupation is on the OUP list for the province) and that no Canadian citizen is willing, or able, to do the job. Put simply, I think it's very unlikely that they'd get a LMO for somebody that doesn't have proof of recently doing the same job - they need a good reason to hire you over a Canadian citizen and I don't think that would help somehow!
As an example, my husband was a surveyor 10 years ago. However, he hasn't done it since so do you really think HRSDC would be happy for him to do that job in Canada? Also, remember that for most skilled trades you need proof of how many hours you've done excluding apprenticeships (I have no idea what the requirements are for a carpenter, but know that an electrician has to have 9000 hours for example).
So whatever it is that you'll be doing over there, you won't be able to have your carpentry taken into account for it as well I wouldn't think.
Hope that's helped.
Edited to add: have just looked it up and it appears 9231 is Skill Level B on the Noc Matrix.
