Canada switches NOC levels with TEER categories from Nov. 16, 2022

On November 16, 2022, Canada announced that the 2021 policy for the NOC or National Occupational Classification would be implemented. It implies that the NOC 2016 skill type and skill level structure practiced currently will be replaced by a six-category system representing the TEER or training, education, experience, and responsibilities required to be employed in an occupation. Some of the other changes are given below:

  • The 4-digit occupation codes will be changed to 5-digit codes.
  • Canada has updated the eligibility criteria for all the programs used in NOC.

There are new categories in the TEER. Programs that used the NOC skill type or levels will now use TEER categories.
