The list of in-demand occupations – the former NOC 38 – has been changed. It now contains 29 occupations. Twenty have been removed, and eleven have been added.
There will be a cap on the number of applications considered under this program within FSW, both overall (20,000) and for each occupation (1000).
All FSW applicants, no matter what their country of origin, must now submit the results of a language test, either English or French.
The new NOC list can be seen here:
In summary the changes on the NOC list are as follows:
