National Occupational Classification 2021
On November 16, 2022, the new version of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 will be implemented.
The key changes will be:
- current NOC 2016 skill type and skill level structure (NOC 0, A, B, C and D) will be replaced with a 6-category system representing the training, education, experience and responsibilities (TEER) needed to work in an occupation
- 4-digit occupation codes will become 5-digit codes
New TEER categories
Programs that used the NOC skill type or levels will now use TEER categories.
- Most jobs will stay in the TEER category that is equal to the skill level in the table below.
- Some jobs may change to a different TEER category.
- Skill level B jobs may become TEER 2 or TEER 3 jobs.
- Find your occupation under the NOC 2021 list to find out what TEER category it belongs to.
| Skill type or level | TEER category |
|---|---|
| Skill type 0 | TEER 0 |
| Skill level A | TEER 1 |
