The difference between low and high skilled workers is defined by the National Occupational Classification or NOC for short. The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the nationally accepted reference on occupations in Canada. Each occupation has a designated NOC code based on the skill requirements required to perform the job. High skilled workers are designated under skill levels 0, A, or B of the National Occupational Classification Matrix. Low skilled positions are designated as skill level C and D of the matrix.

Foreign workers who immigrate to Canada on a temporary work visa are not able to work for any other employer unless authorized to do so. To obtain authorization to work for another employer is a painstaking process. In most cases an employee will not try to switch employers as long as they are treated fairly and the terms of the employment contract are met.
