Effective November 16, 2022, IRCC will implement the new National Occupation Classification (NOC) 2021 which is the Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) system. This implementation will cause several changes to the Express Entry system.
Furthermore, it will impact the eligibility criteria of the Express Entry, and 16 NOC C occupations will become eligible for Express Entry. It is imperative to note that, Canada uses NOC, National Occupation Classification, as a national standard for identifying occupations. After every ten years, the Canadian federal government updates NOC to reflect the country’s labour and economic market changes.
Occupations that will become eligible & ineligible under the TEER system:
With the implementation of the new TEER system, certain occupations will become eligible under the Express Entry system. Sixteen occupations previously under NOC C will upgrade to TEER 3 on November 16, making them eligible under Express Entry.
However, changes in the NOC will also make 12 occupations ineligible, as some have been moved from NOC C to NOC D, falling under the TEER 5 level. In addition, it will impact applicants under the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) that accepts NOC C and above skill levels.
