    Why your foreign job title doesn't match a Canadian NOC — and how to translate it

    TL;DR
    • Canadian recruiters search resumes by NOC 2021 titles, not by 'Software Engineer II' or 'Junior Officer Grade B'.
    • Every NOC has a TEER (0–5) that determines Express Entry eligibility and typical wage.
    • Rename your top role on your Canadian resume to the NOC title — keep your original title in parentheses.
    • Match responsibilities to the NOC's Main Duties list, not just the title.
    • This is the same NOC used for LMIA, PR and Job Bank wage data.

    Why titles get lost in translation

    International job titles carry local meaning that Canadian ATS and recruiters can't decode. "Senior Manager" in India often maps to what Canada calls a "team lead" or "senior analyst". "Software Engineer II" at a US company usually maps to NOC 21231 — software developer — but you'd never find that using keyword search. The fix is to translate title → NOC → Canadian resume title, using the NOC's Main Duties as the deciding factor.

    How to use the match on your resume

    • Rewrite your job title as the Canadian NOC short title. Keep your international title in parentheses: Software Developer (formerly Software Engineer II, Infosys).
    • Rewrite two of your bullet points using verbs from the NOC's Main Duties.
    • Use the wage median as an anchor when a recruiter asks about salary expectations — see our salary converter.
    • For LMIA-backed applications, quote the exact NOC code and TEER on your cover letter.
