NOC 10010 — Financial managers in Canada
Duties, TEER level, employment requirements and example job titles for NOC 10010 — from the NOC 2021 classification.
What NOC 10010 means in plain English
Financial managers plan, organize, direct, control and evaluate the operation of financial and accounting departments. In NOC 2021, the first digit of the code (1) places this unit group in the broad category Business, finance and administration occupations, and the second digit (0) is its TEER level.
What TEER 0 means
TEER stands for Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities. TEER 0 usually means:
- Management responsibilities are what define TEER 0 — legislators, senior managers and middle managers across every sector.
- There is no single education route: most roles combine a degree or diploma with several years of experience in the field being managed.
Express Entry: Work experience in TEER 0, 1, 2 and 3 occupations is the 'skilled' experience that the Federal Skilled Worker Program and the Canadian Experience Class under Express Entry look for. Program rules, minimum hours and category-based draws change, so confirm current requirements on IRCC's website before you apply. See all TEER 0 occupations.
