Hi,
NOC categorizes jobs into Skilled level O,A, or B;
Semi skilled level NOC C
or
Unskilled level NOC D jobs.
Most Student immigration programs (including Federal CEC) require applicants to have work experience in skilled jobs... i.e NOC O,A or B category jobs.
To know more about official HRSDC classification of Occupations as per NOC check:

To see the overall description in a chart.. see the NOC MATRIX:

Remember... every occupation has a 4 DIGIT NOC CODE.
To know which occupation is either NOC O,A,B,C or D follow this rule:

The skill level category is...

Skill level

Skill level
