In fall 2022, Canada's immigration system will change how occupations are classified.

NOC skill levels are replaced with the TEER system

In place of the current approach of categorizing jobs based on skill type, the Canadian government will now categorize jobs based on a new training, education, experience, and responsibilities (TEER) system.

NOC skill levels are currently divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D.

In NOC 2021, this will be replaced with the TEER system, which has six categories: TEER categories 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

The National Occupational Classification (NOC) undergoes a major structural revision every ten years, which involves the review of the framework of the Classification and the existing occupational groups. In response to these changes, the NOC 2021 will reflect the evolution of the economy and nature of work during the next decade.

A major revision cycle of the NOC 2021 resulted in in-depth research, analysis, and assessment of the feedback received through occupational consultations and research. During the revision process, stakeholders and the public provided valuable input.
