Yes, you can check in advance if your program and job fall under the critical skilled worker categories for PR (Permanent Residency) eligibility in both Canada and Ireland.

- Canada: Use the National Occupational Classification (NOC) system. For PR through the Federal Skilled Worker Program, your occupation should typically be in NOC TEER categories 0, 1, 2, or 3.
- Ireland: Refer to Ireland’s Critical Skills Occupations List, which highlights roles in demand. Your job title and qualifications must match an occupation on this list, and certain minimum salary thresholds apply (subject to change).
