• managerial jobs (NOC Skill Level 0)
• professional jobs (NOC Skill Type A)
• technical jobs and skilled trades/manual work (NOC Skill Type B)

People usually have to go to the province or territory to be assessed. They may also need experience and training from an employer in Canada.

This isn’t the same as a nomination from a province or territory.
