Every occupation in the Canadian labour market has a code, called a National Occupational Classification (NOC) code. The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada department (IRCC) uses these NOC codes to assess an immigration applicant’s work experience.
When applying for a work permit or immigration through the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada department (IRCC), all applicants are required to specify their corresponding National Occupational Classification (NOC) code.
Selecting the appropriate NOC code is crucial to avoid the rejection of your immigration application. Your work experience should align with the NOC’s lead statement and duties. Visa officers are knowledgeable about NOC, so be accurate in choosing the right code.
Some economic immigration streams are limited to applicants with experience in specific occupations. Therefore, it is crucial that you understand how to find your NOC code.
What is a NOC code?
In Canada, the government uses National Occupation Classification (NOC) codes to categorize and identify every type of job a person could hold in the country. The NOC system not only categorizes these jobs but also offers information about the duties, responsibilities, job titles, and required training for each occupation.
Each occupation in the NOC system is given a unique five-digit code known as the NOC code. These codes serve as a quick reference for various occupations, for instance, code 21231 is assigned to software engineers, and code 41220 is assigned to secondary school teachers. The NOC codes provide an efficient way to identify and understand different job roles in Canada.
What is the TEER system?
The TEER system is a component of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) used by the Canadian government to categorize various occupations. This system classifies jobs based on two key attributes, broad occupational categories and TEER categories.
The broad occupational categories are determined by the type of work performed, the industry in which the job is located, and the field of study required to enter that particular occupation. The first digit of the NOC code represents the broad occupational category, with different digits indicating different industries such as management (represented by the digit 0) or manufacturing and utilities (represented by the digit 9).
The TEER categories reflect the amount and type of training, education, experience, and responsibilities required for a specific job. This information is reflected in the second digit of the NOC code and provides insight into the qualifications and skills necessary for a particular occupation.
In the NOC 2021 Version 1.0, there are six TEER categories that take into account the level of training, education, experience, and responsibilities required for a job. To be eligible for Express Entry through the Canadian Experience Class or Federal Skilled Worker Class, the occupation must fall under the TEER categories 0, 1, 2, or 3 in the National Occupational Classification (NOC).
| TEER | Occupation types | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| TEER 0 | Management occupations | Advertising, marketing and public relations managers, Financial managers |
| TEER 1 | Occupations that usually require a university degree | Financial advisors and Software engineers |
| TEER 2 | Occupations that usually require a college diploma apprenticeship training of 2 or more years, or supervisory occupations | Computer network and web technicians, Medical laboratory technologists |
| TEER 3 | Occupations that usually require a college diploma apprenticeship training of less than 2 years, or more than 6 months of on-the-job training | Bakers, Dental assistants and dental laboratory assistants |
| TEER 4 | Occupations that usually require a high school diploma, or several weeks of on-the-job training | Home child care providers, Retail salespersons and visual merchandisers |
| TEER 5 | Occupations that usually need short-term work demonstration and no formal education | Landscaping and grounds maintenance labourers, Delivery service drivers and door-to-door distributors |

How to find your NOC code
One of the most vital aspects of your immigration application is picking the right NOC code. If you claim a NOC code that doesn’t line up with your work experience, your application might get rejected. Every National Occupational Classification system code has a corresponding job title, lead statement, and list of primary duties and responsibilities.
The National Occupation Classification (NOC) code is determined by your work experience, rather than your job title. Your experience should match the lead statement and you should be able to complete most of the listed responsibilities and duties. Therefore, your work experience might fall under a few different NOC codes, or the code associated with your official job title might not correspond to your actual experience.
If your job duties fit more than one NOC code, you must decide which one is the best match for your experience.
Please also take note of the NOC exclusions. Even if your job seems to correspond with a certain NOC code, you can’t claim that occupation if it falls under one of the listed excluded codes.
Whichever NOC code you claim, you will need to prove that it is accurate by providing evidence from your past employers. Be aware that the visa officer reviewing your application is knowledgeable about the NOC matrix. If they believe your occupation would more accurately fit a different NOC code, they may decline to approve your application.
For a skilled job in regards to meeting the eligibility for Express Entry through the Canadian Experience Class or Federal Skilled Worker Class, you will need to have a job under TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) code.

A deeper look into NOC codes
The NOC system follows a hierarchical structure, which enables the collection, dissemination, and analysis of data in a standardized and organized manner. Each number or digit in the system has a specific significance, and each level of the hierarchy provides increasing levels of detail. The following provides a description of the hierarchical levels of the classification, starting with the most detailed and progressing to the most aggregated.
Here is a description of each level of the hierarchy:
Broad Categories (first digit) – The Broad Category represents the occupational categorization, which is defined by the type of work performed, the field of study, or the industry of employment. There are 10 Broad Categories in NOC 2021 Version 1.0
TEER Categories (second digit) – The TEER Category represents the necessary training, education, experience, and responsibilities required for an occupation. There are 6 TEER Categories in NOC 2021 Version 1.0.
Major Groups (first and second digits) – The Major Group is represented by the combination of the Broad Category and the TEER Category, and encompasses several sub-major groups. There are 45 Major Groups in NOC 2021 Version 1.0.
Sub-major Groups (3-digit) – The Sub-major Group represents the aggregation of several minor groups and is represented by the three-digit code used by the NOC. There are 89 Sub-major Groups in NOC 2021 Version 1.0.
Minor Groups (4-digit) – The Minor Group represents the occupational domain in which the occupation is carried out, and is an aggregation of several unit groups. There are 162 Minor Groups in NOC 2021 Version 1.0.
Unit Groups (5-digit) – The Unit Group is the most detailed level of the classification and represents one or several occupations combined together within the NOC. There are 516 Unit Groups in NOC 2021 Version 1.0.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) code is a critical component of the Canadian immigration system, which is used to categorize and identify every type of job in the country. It is essential to understand how to find the right NOC code to ensure that your immigration application is accurate and successful.
The TEER system, which is a component of the NOC, categorizes jobs based on their level of training, education, experience, and responsibilities. To be eligible for Express Entry through the Canadian Experience Class or Federal Skilled Worker Class, the occupation must fall under the TEER categories 0, 1, 2, or 3.
Our Canadian immigration consulting services can help you navigate this process, ensure that you have the correct NOC code, and provide guidance throughout your immigration journey.
