The immigration angle

What this occupation means for a plan

Not skilled work
TEER 5: short work demonstration and no formal education. 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.
No category
Not on any of IRCC’s current Express Entry category lists, so it does not open a category-based round by itself.From IRCC’s category-based selection page, as our rules engine reads it.
Not high-wage
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.

Approved to hire foreign workers

37 employers, 719 positions, 8 quarters

Employers issued a positive labour market impact assessment for this occupation in Manitoba, 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.
