NOC Clarification
Hi all I asked this question a while ago but didn’t get a strait answer,
i am a trained supervisor(sssts) in the fence installation industry, I have a Canadian employing wanting to employ me I met with him last week.
could anyone 100% comfirm if I can apply under noc 7205 (contractors and supervisors), the only example title relating to me is ‘fence contractor’, does this mean I would need to own and run my own business to apply?
any advice would really be appreciated,
below is from the noc 7205 page;
thanks Terry

Re: NOC Clarification
You need to follow it 'backwards' in effect - 7205 supervisors are supervisors of 7441 installers.
I did say 7205 would appear to be a good fit. (complete with links and a breakdown) ** but please see below as it appears that is not quite the case.
I would be very surprised if a Canadian company would be able to obtain an LMIA for that position though. They would have to advertise for many weeks and show proof that there is no Canadian Citizen nor Permanent Resident in the whole of Canada able and willing to take the job. Are they willing to support your application for Permanent Residency or apply for an LMIA for you?
When you say apply - do you mean for Express Entry? Have you checked your points to ascertain whether you would be likely to receive an invite? Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) tool: skilled immigrants (Express Entry)
I see from an earlier post that you have. Perhaps revisit the tool and see if it's changed (if you had a birthday it will likely have). If you are still under 31 (or have Irish ancestry and are under 35), have you considered applying to enter the IEC pool - if you got an invite that would at least give you a 2 year open work permit which would give you Canadian Experience and increase your points.

HUGE Apologies - having managed to finally get the 2016 NOC pages to open, it specifies Fencing Contractor but there is no mention of Fencing Supervisor. Sadly, it looks like you may have to own your own company to qualify under that NOC code... which wouldn't help you with points for Express Entry with job offer.

Perhaps take another look at your thread from last year? Express Entry, Not enough points?
