Today’s NOC Changes Will Affect Express Entry Candidates

IRCC has been working on transitioning to the NOC 2021 system since the announcement on July 27, 2022. This change will affect Canada’s 100+ immigration programs, including Express Entry.

NOC 2021 changes skill type and level to TEER categories

The requirements will be aligned with the NOC 2021 structure for all 3 Express Entry programs (Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program). Skill Types and Skill Levels of NOC 2016 will be replaced with TEER Categories of NOC 2021.
