Overview

NOC 74203 governs automotive and heavy truck and equipment parts installers and servicers under Canada's National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 system. Individuals in this unit group primarily install and service replacement parts such as mufflers, shock absorbers, brakes, radiators, and windshields on light-duty vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, or industrial equipment. They are typically employed by specialized automotive repair shops, service stations, and heavy equipment service centres where they utilize specialized hand and power tools to perform routine mechanical replacements and adjustments.

Classified as a TEER 4 occupation, NOC 74203 generally requires completion of secondary school along with some on-the-job training or specialized training courses. Unlike high-skilled TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 occupations, individuals in TEER 4 roles navigate specific economic immigration pathways designed for intermediate and semi-skilled workers. Prospective immigrants looking to leverage experience in NOC 74203 may find viable options through the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) or various Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams tailored to in-demand semi-skilled labor.
