NOC Changes Implemented Today (Teer System )
Express Entry candidates will be impacted by NOC changes implemented todayIRCC is switching to the NOC 2021 system today. Here’s what you need to know before that change takes effect.
For instance, while the current NOC system (NOC 2016) requires that an Express Entry candidate has work experience classified under NOC skill types 0, A or B, IRCC’s shift to NOC 2021 will bring with it a shift to the Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) system.
This is how the skill type categories of the current NOC system match up with the TEER categories of the 2021 NOC system.
| NOC 2016 | NOC 2021 |
|---|---|
| Skill Type 0 | TEER 0 |
| Skill Level A | TEER 1 |
| Skill Level B | TEER 2 |
| Skill Level B | TEER 3 |
| Skill Level C | TEER 4 |
| Skill Level D | TEER 5 |
