2. On November 16, 2022, the Canadian immigration
service updated to the NOC 2021 system. Some of
Canada's immigration programs, such as Express Entry,
will need applicants to meet new requirements due to
the new NOC.
Current Express Entry requirements for employment
experience are to fall within NOC skill types 0, A, or B,
which are in line with the NOC 2016. After the
transition, the new Training, Education, Experience, and
Responsibilities (TEER) system will be used by
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
to evaluate previous employment experience.

3. NOC 2016 NOC 2021
Skill Type 0 ➔ TEER 0
Skill Level A ➔ TEER 1
Skill Level B ➔ TEER 2
TEER 3
Skill Level C ➔ TEER 4
Skill Level D ➔ TEER 5
Compare the various skill kinds used in the 2016 NOC to those used in the TEER in the table below.

4. Essential Information on FSWP Selection Criteria Points
As part of the Federal Skilled Worker Program
(FSWP), the candidate's points for selection
factors will now be based on the new Skill
Type/Level chart that was announced with the
NOC 2021 system.
For example, if a candidate gets 10 points for
arranged employment in Skill type/level 0, A, or B,
they will still get 10 points for arranged
employment in TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3.

5. Changing Occupational Eligibility for Express Entry with the Move to NOC 2021
With the switch to the NOC 2021 system, 16 occupations will be eligible for Express Entry for the first time, while three
jobs will no longer be eligible. Even though these three newly ineligible jobs will still be eligible for the program, they will
have to meet a wider set of requirements to be eligible, like some PNP streams (Provincial Nominee Program).
16 occupations newly considered eligible:
 Payroll administrators
 Dental assistants and dental laboratory assistants
 Patient service representatives, orderlies, and nursing assistants
 Pharmacy technical assistants and pharmacy assistants
 Elementary and secondary school teacher assistants
 Sheriffs and bailiffs
 Correctional service officers
 By-law enforcement and other regulatory officers
 Estheticians, electrologists, and related occupations
 Residential and commercial installers and servicers
 Pest controllers and fumigators
 Other repairers and servicers
 Transport truck drivers
 Subway operators, bus drivers, and other operators of public transit
 Heavy equipment operators
 Aircraft assemblers and aircraft assembly inspectors

6. Transition to NOC 2021 Will Have Consequences for CRS
Changes to the Federal Skilled Worker Program are described above, and the NOC 2021
system has declared that CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) scores will now be based on
the revised Skill Type/Level chart.
A applicant whose NOC is in TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 will still receive the same number of points for
an arranged job in skill type/level 0 or level 1 or level 2, respectively.

7. Actions to Do Based On Your Specific Circumstances
The transition to NOC 2021 will necessitate a variety of steps
from IRCC, dependent on where an individual candidate is in
the Express Entry process.
Candidates who have yet to submit their Express Entry profile
but now plan to do so after today's change will first need to
find and submit their occupation's code according to the NOC
2021 system.
Meanwhile, the IRCC will provide additional guidance to those
applicants who have completed an Express Entry profile but
have not yet received an Invitation to Apply. As with
tomorrow's update, applicants will need to revise their already
submitted Express Entry profiles. Find the NOC 2021 list on the
ESDC (Employment and Social Development Canada) website,
and then update your Express Entry profile with your TEER
category and five-digit occupation code.
