New Changes in NOC System and TEER Categories in Canada Immigration

The NOC is a classification system in Canada for employment where the job number is listed, which stands for National Occupational Classification (NOC). Under this approach, the Canadian government categorizes the professions. Jobs are classified depending on the kind of work and responsibilities an individual performs. The National Occupational Classification will have a new version on November 16, 2022, with a 2021 update.

On the 30th anniversary of the standard occupational classification system, NOC 2021 marks a significant structural change. The NOC 2021 Version 1.0 now includes a new 5-digit structure and a New TEER NOC code.

TEER System

TEER stands for Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities. The Canadian government uses the TEER system to determine eligibility for career experience. This TEER system will be primarily examined by the IRCC during the immigration process.

New Version of NOC:

  • The structure of skill type and skill level is enhanced in the new version of NOC with the addition of six new TEER categories.
  • TEER is required to work in a profession.
  • Occupational codes will transition from 4-digits to 5-digits.
  • The eligibility standards for all NOC programs will be updated.

New TEER Code:

A brand new TEER category will be employed instead of the previous NOC skill levels. Thus, the NOC skill type or levels will no longer be used. There are ten professional categories, and six TEER classifications are available. The work type, education level, and work industry are the basis for the professional categories. From TEER 0 to TEER 5, which make up the six TEER classifications.

The above two categories create the structural classification of the NOC 2021 version. Broad, major, sub-major, minor, and unit groupings are all included in the standard classification system, which uses a five-tiered hierarchical organization of occupational categories with various levels of fragmentation.

The NOC 2021 Coding System

According to the definition of broad occupational categories(BOC), the type of work done depends on a number of factors, including the industry of employment and the field of study needed to enter a particular occupation. The ten BOCs are divided into groups of 0 to 9.
