Find a job

As a candidate, you must have a genuine job offer to work in 1 of the participating communities.

In addition to the requirements on this page, each community will have their own requirements and job search process. To find a job, you must follow the instructions on their websites.

Once you have a job offer, and meet all the requirements, you can apply for a community recommendation.

Job offer requirements

The job you’re offered must meet all of these requirements:

• The job must be full-time
  • This means mean you work at least 30 paid hours per week
• The job must be non-seasonal
  • In general, this means you have consistent and regularly scheduled paid employment throughout the year
• Your employment is permanent
  • This means that there is no set end date
• The wage must meet or exceed the Job Bank’s minimum wage for your job offer’s National Occupational Classification (NOC).
• Your experience must show that you can perform the duties of the job offered

Skill level

Your job offer must be at the same skill level, 1 level above or 1 level below the NOC that matches your work experience.

Exception: If your experience is in NOC skill level D, then the job you’re being offered must be in the same occupation.

For example:

• NOC 0 job offer: work experience in NOC 0 or A
• NOC A job offer: work experience in NOC 0, A or B
• NOC B job offer: work experience in NOC A, B or C
• NOC C job offer: work experience in NOC B or C

We’ll review the main duties of your job offer to confirm that it meets the NOC skill level.
