Canada is slowly emerging as the most popular destination for Indians to migrate.

IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) has implemented the new NOC (National Occupation Classification/Code) 2021 to migration to Canada in November 2022. This new system replaces the old NOC codes with a TEER (Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities) system. It will affect the eligibility for Canada’s 100+ immigration programs. The eligibility for the migration programmes will now be determined based on the eligibility that this new system will put in place. The skill types under this new TEER system will be as follows:
- Skill Type 0 —> TEER 0
- Skill Type A —>TEER 1
- Skill Type B —>TEER 2
- Skill Type B —>TEER 3

- Skill Type D —>TEER 5
Moreover, the positions under each TEER category will be the following:

Applicants who have received ITA before November 16, 2022, will need to use the old 4-digit NOC code. However, the applicants who have received the ITA after November 16, 2022, or are planning to apply for the ITA now will need to use the new 5-digit TEER codes. The same needs to be updated and edited in your Express Entry profile on the IRCC portal with the new TEER code. Finally, the CRS score will be awarded according to the TEER system now.
