Reference

Stable reference pages for Canadian immigration planning: NOC codes, language tests, costs, and proof of funds.

What belongs on a reference page

Reference pages hold the parts of Canadian immigration that don't change with your profile: occupation codes, accepted language tests and their conversions, government fees, and settlement-funds thresholds. They sit apart from the program pages because the same NOC code or test conversion applies whether you are looking at Express Entry, a provincial stream, or a work permit, keeping them in one place means one lookup instead of the same table repeated on every program page.

How these pages fit the tools

Reference pages answer a question; the calculators apply it to your profile. Look up the NOC code for your job title here, then carry it into the Express Entry and provincial stream checks, which gate on TEER level rather than on the job title itself. Read the settlement-funds rules here, then let the proof-of-funds tool apply the family-size figure for the current year. The reference page tells you what the rule is; the tool tells you where you stand against it.

How current these pages are

Each page names its source and the date that source was last checked. Government reference data moves on its own schedule. NOC revisions land every few years, fee tables and settlement-funds floors are revised annually, language-test conversions change only when IRCC restates them. We re-verify each dataset on the cadence its source actually publishes on rather than restating figures from memory, and a page shows the date of its source, not the date the text was written.
