Esta es la lista oficial de ocupaciones de salario alto de Express Entry: 186 códigos NOC en tres niveles. Entra en vigor el 3 de noviembre de 2026 y usa datos de 2023 a 2025 (IRCC, consultado el 16 de octubre de 2026). Si trabajaste al menos 12 meses en Canadá en una de estas ocupaciones, o tienes una oferta de trabajo en una de ellas, puedes recibir puntos extra. Te lo explicamos en la versión de 5 minutos y en la guía completa.
Cómo usar esta lista
- Busca tu código NOC. Si no lo sabes, búscalo por el nombre de tu puesto en el buscador oficial de la NOC. En el celular o la computadora, usa «Buscar en la página» para encontrar tu código aquí.
- Mira el nivel. El nivel 1 da más puntos que el 2, y el 2 más que el 3.
- Recuerda: cuenta el salario típico de la ocupación en Canadá, no lo que tú ganas. Los títulos están en inglés, tal como los publica IRCC, porque así aparecen en tu perfil.
Dentro de cada nivel agrupamos las ocupaciones por TEER (el nivel de formación que suele pedir el puesto; es el segundo dígito del código NOC). Para Express Entry, la experiencia debe ser TEER 0, 1, 2 o 3.
Nivel 1: al menos 2 veces la mediana
