Canada Express Entry: New NOC System “TEER” implemented now

Canada’s new NOC (National Occupational Classification System) has been now changed to TEER Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities. The new list of this NOC system will affect almost 100 immigration programs in Canada regarding eligibility matters.

The new NOC 2021 TEER consists of 516 occupations in total. Out of 516 NOC unit groups, 423 have a one-to-one correspondence with a unit group from the NOC 2016. Almost all of the occupations from the previous NOC system have been included in the new TEER system.

Key changes to new NOC system 2021

The new NOC 2021 includes structural changes such as the addition, aggregation or merging, and splitting of unit groups as well as the reorganization of certain groups across broad occupational categories and Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) categories. The new NOC 2021 also:

  • Introduces a brand new five-digit codification system to replace the current four-digit system.
  • Adopts a five-tiered hierarchical arrangement of occupational groups with successive levels of disaggregation containing broad occupational categories, major groups, sub-major groups, minor groups, and unit groups.
  • Overhauls the current four-category NOC “Skill level” structure by introducing a new six-category system representing the level of Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) required for entry into an occupation.

The new NOC system now comprises six TEER categories. IRCC announced this new TEER system in July last year. This simply means the NOC occupations system (implemented back in 2016) for jobs and qualifications will be now tested against the following:

TEER 0Management occupations.
TEER 1Completion of a university degree (bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate); several years of experience in a specific occupation from TEER category 2 (when applicable).
TEER 2Completion of a post-secondary education program of two to three years at community college, institute of technology, or CÉGEP; or completion of an apprenticeship training program of two to five years; occupations with supervisory or significant safety (police officers and firefighters) responsibilities; orSeveral years of experience in a specific occupation from TEER category 3 (when applicable).
TEER 3Completion of a post-secondary education program of fewer than two years at community college, institute of technology, or CÉGEP; or apprenticeship training of fewer than 2 years; or more than six months of on-the-job training, training courses, or specific work experience with some secondary school education; or several years of experience in a specific occupation from TEER category 4 (when applicable).
TEER 4Completion of secondary school; several weeks of on-the-job training with some secondary school education; or several years of experience in a specific occupation from TEER category 5 (when applicable).
TEER 5Short work demonstration and no formal educational requirements.
