What employers posted for this occupation in British Columbia, from Job Bank’s open data, and the employers approved to hire foreign workers for it. Counts and medians of what was posted, nothing more.
26 vacancies, 100% full time, 45% permanent, 0% relayed from other job boards. Over the last twelve months: 92 postings, about 8 a month.
Medians are of the pay written in the postings, hourly and salaried postings separately, never converted. Half of postings paid more, half less.
TEER 4: usually a high school diploma or several weeks of training. Express Entry programs count work in TEER 0 to 3 only, so time in this occupation would not count toward them. Provincial streams and other permits may still apply.

Not on IRCC's high-wage occupation list, so a job offer in it earns no extra Express Entry points under the November 3, 2026 changes.From IRCC’s high-wage occupation list, as our rules engine reads it.

Employers issued a positive labour market impact assessment for this occupation in British Columbia, as Employment and Social Development Canada publishes them each quarter. An approval is a position on an LMIA in that quarter: not a vacancy today, not a promise to hire you, and not a work permit. The department leaves out employers named after a person, so the list is not complete.
