All you need to know about NOC codes

NOC is the abbreviation of the National Occupational Classification system used by IRCC- Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada to classify the skill levels of skilled workers. Only the skills or occupations which are categorized in the NOC receive points under the CRS system of Express Entry. A specialized job description and code are assigned to each occupation in the NOC system. Usually, it is seen that job titles vary, but the NOC code is given based on the work experience that the applicant has attained. They also need to have documentation to prove their experience in the selected domain. Earlier it was NOC 2016 being used and from November 16th, 2022, a new NOC system is being followed. In NOC 2021, there are different TEER categories from TEER 0 to TEER 5. Unlike before now, there is a five-digit system, and the second digit indicates the TEER category on the NOC code.
