Yes, IRCC has updated their NOC 2021 page which says that new TEER system will be implemented in November 2022. It says as we quote, “On November 16, 2022, we’re switching to the 2021 version of the National Occupational Classification (NOC).” This is in alignment with IRCC memo that was obtained by INC – Immigration News Canada in May 2022.
So, mark the date and set reminders in your calendar for November 16 to update your TEER in the profile. As a result of implementation of new NOC system, below are the two major changes that will happen:
- 16 NOC C Occupations Became Eligible For Express Entry!
- 12 NOCs Became Ineligible For Atlantic Immigration (AIP)!
What is the NOC 2021, the New TEER system?
Canada uses NOC as a national reference for occupations. The Canadian federal government revises NOC every ten years to reflect Canada’s economy and labour market.
The NOC 2021 modernizes the previous 4-digit “Skill Level” structure. It introduces new categories to represent the degree of Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) needed for an occupation. Additionally, it includes a new five-digit hierarchical structure.
