They should not be a copy-paste job.

They must be similar to each other as much as possible. CIC explicitly states that your roles & responsibilities must match most of the main duties of the NOC. You could interpret that as meaning more than 60-70% overlap.

A copy-paste job is a bad idea. Modify them to be similar to the NOC duties instead of being the same word-to-word.

Many employers in Canada copy paste NOC descriptions so how come its a bad thing?? I don't get it.
I understand that its a bad idea for someone outside of Canada, BUT how about inlanders?

I meant that for an outlander. It will be very weird if an external organization modeled their HR practices on something recommended by a part of the Canadian government. For inland applicants, it is definitely not a bad thing if their HR includes the NOC as part of their reference letter.
