Retail salespersons and visual merchandisers
TEER 4 — Usually requires a secondary school diploma or several weeks of on-the-job training. Classification: National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 Version 1.0, published by Statistics Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada.
Does this occupation qualify for Express Entry?
The Canadian Experience Class and the Federal Skilled Worker Program both require skilled work experience in NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3. Retail salespersons and visual merchandisers is TEER 4, which falls outside that range, so work experience in this occupation alone does not meet the structural requirement for either program. A Provincial Nominee Program, employer-driven work permit, or another pathway may still apply — see the programs linked below.
The Federal Skilled Trades Program has its own specific list of eligible trade occupations, separate from a general TEER 2/3 rule — check the official Federal Skilled Trades eligibility list ↗ for whether this specific occupation is included.
