Everything about NOC 2021: Changes and Effect

What is Changing in the Canada Occupation List and What to do?

Canada’s immigration department is switching to the 2021 version of the National Occupation Code system on November 16, 2022, under Federal Skilled Worker Program. However New codes have been updated on the respective websites.

Eligibility for some of Canada’s immigration programs including Express Entry will change because of the New NOC. and the applicants who are still eligible will need to update their Express Entry file.

Before 16 November, you need work experience that falls under NOC skill types 0, A, or B, which align with the NOC 2016. After the switch on November 16, IRCC will look to the new Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) system to determine work experience eligibility.

The following table shows how NOC 2016 skill types compare to TEER categories.

NOC 2016 NOC 2021
Skill Type 0 TEER 0
