Common questions
- Is NOC 00013 (Senior managers - health, education, social and community services and membership organizations) a high-wage occupation for Express Entry?
- Yes. From November 3, 2026, NOC 00013 is in the 2× tier of IRCC’s high-wage list, meaning its national median wage is at least 2 times the median wage of the Canadian workforce (2023 to 2025 data).
- How many CRS points does NOC 00013 give?
- With 12 months or more of skilled Canadian work in NOC 00013, you add 70 points to your Canadian work-experience points. For example, a single candidate with 3 years of Canadian work goes from 64 to 134 points. A qualifying job offer in NOC 00013 is worth 100 points instead. You get the higher of the two routes, never both, capped at 150 points (140 with a spouse).
- Do I need to earn 2× the median wage myself?
- No. The tier comes from the occupation’s national median wage, not from your own salary. What matters is that your job’s main duties match NOC 00013 and that the work is skilled, paid, Canadian experience.
- Can I combine months in different high-wage jobs?
- To get the 70-point add-on, all 12 months must be in 2× occupations. Months here also count toward the 40-point (1.5×) and 20-point (1.3×) add-ons when combined with other high-wage jobs.
- Which Express Entry programs accept NOC 00013?
- As a TEER 0 occupation it counts as skilled work for the Canadian Experience Class and the Federal Skilled Worker Program.
- Which category draws include NOC 00013?
- It is on IRCC’s list for the Senior managers with Canadian work experience category, so you can also be invited in those category draws.
