The IRP Regulations allow the Minister to designate
an occupation as a restricted occupation taking into account area
and national labour market activity and following consultation with
relevant departments, provincial governments and organizations.
Work experience in a restricted occupation will not be considered
against either the definition of Skilled Worker or against the Experience
selection factor. The purpose of this list is to permit the Minister
to protect the Canadian labour market should an overly large number
of immigrants with narrow occupational skills apply for immigration
under the Skilled Worker Class.
Presently there is NO OCCUPATION LISTED IN THE RESTRICTED LIST. |
