Occupational Groups - Pre-1999 Groups

Archived information

Archived information is provided for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It is not subject à to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. Please contact us to request a format other than those available.

In 1999, the Government approved an occupational group structure with updated definitions. The new structure contains fewer occupational groups, some of which serve to consolidate older occupational groups that share certain common traits. It provides employees with more opportunities for career mobility and development, and it streamlines the collective bargaining process. Union affiliation is unaffected.
