Frequently Asked Questions for NOC 94202 (Assemblers and inspectors, electrical appliance, apparatus and equipment manufacturing)
Essential answers regarding Express Entry eligibility, LMIA prevailing wage compliance, and official reference letter rules.
NOC 94202 is in TEER 4, which is not directly eligible for standard Express Entry pools. However, you can apply through Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) semi-skilled streams or employer-sponsored work permits.

Under Section 75(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR), your employment reference letter must confirm you perform the actions in the lead statement and a substantial number (recommended at least 60%) of the official main duties listed above. You do not need to perform 100% of the duties.
Under Canada's previous NOC 2016 classification, Assemblers and inspectors, electrical appliance, apparatus and equipment manufacturing was categorized under NOC 9524 (Assemblers and inspectors, electrical appliance, apparatus and equipment manufacturing). In NOC 2021, it transitioned to NOC 94202 under TEER 4.
Because TEER 4 is not eligible for direct Express Entry, your best routes are employer-supported Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) semi-skilled streams (such as SINP in Saskatchewan, AAIP in Alberta, or MPNP in Manitoba) or federal pilot programs like the Agri-Food Pilot.
