64100

Under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021, NOC 64100 covers Retail salespersons and visual merchandisers. This category includes individuals who sell, rent, or lease consumer goods and services directly to customers, as well as visual merchandisers who plan, design, and set up in-store displays. Classified under TEER 4, these roles typically require a high school diploma or a combination of some high school education and several weeks of on-the-job training.

Key duties for retail salespersons include greeting customers, assisting in product selection, operating cash registers, and maintaining sales inventory. Visual merchandisers focus on creating window and in-store displays to promote merchandise. To work in Canada under NOC 64100, candidates generally need to demonstrate product knowledge and strong communication skills. While formal post-secondary education is not strictly required, specific product training or coursework in visual merchandising can be highly beneficial for candidates seeking employment.

As a TEER 4 occupation, candidates in NOC 64100 may not directly qualify for Federal Express Entry programs like the Federal Skilled Worker program, but they may be eligible for Canadian permanent residency through various Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP), or specific pilot programs. Additionally, employers can hire foreign workers through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program using a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
