PRJOBS.CAWhat 1.3 times the median wage means
IRCC sorts occupations by how their pay compares with the median wage in Canada. People working as electrical and electronics engineering technologists and technicians earn at least 1.3 times the median, so NOC 22310 is on the high-wage list at that level. The level comes from the occupation as a whole, not from the salary in your offer.
- 50 points for a qualifying job offer in this occupation
- 20 points bonus on top of your Canadian work experience points after 12 months working in occupations at this level
- 150 points at most for the job offer or work experience factor, or 140 with a spouse or partner
Two examples for NOC 22310
1 year of Canadian work experience in this occupation. Your experience is worth 40 + 20 = 60 points and the offer 50. You get 60. The offer adds nothing, because your experience is worth as much or more.
3 years of Canadian work experience in this occupation. Your experience is worth 64 + 20 = 84 points and the offer 50. You get 84. The offer adds nothing, because your experience is worth as much or more.
Both examples assume no spouse or partner and an offer that meets every term below.
The terms your offer must meet
- It's in writing and signed by the employer
- It's recent
- It's full-time, at least 30 hours a week
- It's continuous and paid, not seasonal
- It lasts at least 1 year after you become a permanent resident
- The employer isn't an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada
