What is PathwayMatch?
PathwayMatch is an independent, informational tool that helps you find your likely National Occupational Classification (NOC) code and the Canadian immigration programs that may fit your profile. It does not provide legal advice and is not affiliated with any government.
How it works
Share your profile
Age, education, language results, and work history. Everything runs in your browser.
Get your likely NOC matches
See the occupation codes that fit your real duties, each with a confidence score and a plain reason.
See program fit
Relevant programs, weaker-fit options, and longer-term routes, mapped to your situation.
Close the gaps
A profile roadmap shows what to improve and what to prepare before you apply anywhere.
Why people use it
Most people stall on two questions: which NOC am I, and which program fits me. PathwayMatch answers both, and shows the work.
Understand your NOC
Your occupation code shapes almost every program. We match it to your duties, not just your job title.
Compare programs in one place
Express Entry streams, Provincial Nominee options, and study or work routes, weighed against your profile.
See what is missing
Language bands, an education assessment, or work-hour thresholds. Know the gaps before you commit time or money.
Private by design
The assessment runs client-side. Your answers are not sent to our servers, because the tool has none.
Who it is for
- Skilled workers weighing Express Entry
- International students and graduates already in Canada
- People who hold a Canadian job offer
- Anyone unsure which NOC code matches their work
- Newcomers comparing federal and provincial routes
