    Canada New NOC Codes Effective Today!​

    The 2021 edition of the National Occupation Classification is now used in Canada. On November 16, 2022, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) began evaluating work permit and permanent residency applications using the NOC system 2021.

    The following list summarizes this new modification:​

    TEER Categories​

    Previously, to submit an Express Entry application for permanent residence in Canada, applicants had to have work experience matching NOC skill categories 0, A, or B, which was compatible with the Canada NOC list 2016. After this modification takes effect on November 16, Canada will use the new Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) system to determine a candidate’s suitability for professional experience.
    Skill Type OR Level TEER Category
    Skill Type 0 TEER 0
    Skill Type A TEER 1
    Skill Type B TEER 2 And TEER 3
    Skill Type C TEER 4
    Skill Type D TEER 5

    Federal Skilled Worker Program

    Beginning November 16, applicants for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) of Express Entry must use the new 2021 NOC system.

    Candidates who wish to be considered for the Express Entry pool must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile. There are 347 qualifying jobs under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP).
