72999

National Occupational Classification (NOC) code 72999 encompasses other technical trades and related occupations not elsewhere classified under the NOC 2021 system. Classified as a TEER 2 occupation, this diverse unit group includes specialized professionals such as locksmiths, gunsmiths, safe technicians, and patternmakers. Individuals in these roles perform highly specialized technical tasks, ranging from fabricating, installing, and repairing locks and security systems to crafting custom precision molds and patterns.

Because NOC 72999 is classified as TEER 2, skilled workers in this category may be eligible for key Canadian immigration pathways, including the Express Entry system under the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) or the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Additionally, applicants can explore various Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) that target skilled trades to fill local labor shortages. Candidates typically require completion of secondary school, several years of on-the-job training, or a relevant apprenticeship program depending on the specific trade.

Securing employment in Canada under NOC 72999 often requires meeting specific provincial licensing or certification requirements, particularly for specialized roles like locksmiths. Aspiring immigrants should ensure their work experience matches the official Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) lead statement and job duties.
