The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the official resource used by all Canadian governmental bodies in relation with job/occupational information. This is a means to provide a standard structure for analysis and assessment, gathering more than 30,000 occupation titles in 516 NOC codes.
Understanding National Occupational Classification (NOC) Codes
The National Occupation Classification (NOC) system is a crucial part of the Canadian job market, assigning codes to different occupations. This system is particularly important for Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), as they use NOC codes to assess the work experience of immigration applicants. When applicants share their work history, they need to pick the NOC code that best fits their experience.
Selecting the right NOC code is a big deal for your immigration application. If you choose a code that doesn’t match your real work experience, your application could be rejected or sent back. It’s your responsibility to pick the right code and provide proof for it. Each NOC code comes with a job title, lead statement, and a list of main duties and responsibilities.
For Canadian immigration, your official job title isn’t as important as making sure your work experience matches the lead statement. You should have done most of the duties and responsibilities listed. This might mean your work experience fits under a few different NOC codes, or your job title might be linked to a NOC code that doesn’t exactly match your experience.
Each NOC code is comprised of 5 digits:
- The first digit represents the Broad occupational category
- The second digit represents the training, education, experience and responsibilities (TEER) category
- The first two digits together represent the Major group
- The first three digits represent the Sub-major group
- The first four digits represent the Minor group
- The full five digits represent the occupation itself
For example, for NOC code 13102 :
- The first digit, 1, represents the Broad occupational category “1 – Business, finance and administration occupations“
- The second digit, 3, represents TEER category “3 – Occupations usually require a college diploma or apprenticeship training of less than two years; or more than six months of on-the-job training“
- The first two digits, 13, represent the major group “13 – Administrative occupations and transportation logistics occupations“
- The first three digits, 131, represent the sub-major group “131 – Administrative occupations“
- The first four digits, 1314, represent the minor group “1310 – Administrative, property and payroll officers“
- The full five digits, 13102, represent the occupation itself “13102 – Payroll administrators“
Understanding NOC TEER Categories
Any applicant under a Canadian immigration program need to identify which National Occupational Classification (NOC) code (in the 2021 version) their work falls under. Making the correct choice of NOC is therefore a crucial part of a successful move to Canada.
In the 2021 version of the NOC, the training, education, experience and responsibilities (TEER) categories are:
Occupations with NOC TEER Categories 0, 1, 2 or 3 are considered high-skilled, while those with NOC TEER categories 4 or 5 are considered low-skilled.
This classification is crucial for determining the skill level of occupations in immigration assessments, and thus determining if your occupation is eligible to each immigration program that has work experience or job offer requirements.
In the 2021 version of the NOC, the training, education, experience and responsibilities (TEER) categories are:
- TEER 0: Management occupations.
- TEER 1: Occupations that usually require a university degree.
- TEER 2: Occupations that usually require a college diploma, apprenticeship training of 2 or more years, or supervisory occupations.
- 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.
- TEER 4: Occupations that usually require a high school diploma, or several weeks of on-the-job training.
- TEER 5: Occupations that usually need short-term work demonstration and no formal education.
Occupations with NOC TEER Categories 0, 1, 2 or 3 are considered high-skilled, while those with NOC TEER categories 4 or 5 are considered low-skilled.
This classification is crucial for determining the skill level of occupations in immigration assessments, and thus determining if your occupation is eligible to each immigration program that has work experience or job offer requirements.
How to Identify the NOC code of an occupation?
You can begin by looking into the National Occupational Classification (NOC) website and search for the NOC job code whose description would be the most comparable to your current job. You will need to make sure you are using the 2021 version of the NOC when using the search option.
You need to base your NOC code search on job duties and not job titles. Job duties are the most important because when submitting your proof of work experience, it has to include your job duties. IRCC will compare your job duties with those set out in the NOC job code. You should focus on the lead statement (first paragraph) and the main duties in the NOC job code.
Another option would be to use the JobBank website. Find a job opening that matches your current or previous job, and whose job duties match yours. On the job opening page, you can find the corresponding NOC code in the “Job Market Information” page.

Which Programs could I be eligible to?
Depending on the TEER category of your National Occupational Classification (NOC) code, you could be eligible to multiple programs:
- If your NOC code is of TEER Category 0, 1, 2 or 3, you can be eligible to the three federal programs of Express Entry, the Atlantic Immigration Program and some streams of the Provincial Nominee Programs.
- If your NOC code is of TEER Category 4 or 5, you can be eligible to some streams of the Provincial Nominee Programs, such as the Prince Edward Island PNP, the Northwest Territories PNP, the Yukon PNP, and others.
- Some immigration programs require a job offer or experience in specific NOC codes, such as the Home Child Care Provider Pilot & Home Support Worker Pilot, or the Agri-Food Pilot (AFP) Program.
- Some open Work Permits under the International Mobility Program and Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Work Permits are only eligible to occupations under TEER Categories 0, 1, 2 or 3 or under specific NOC codes.
Next Steps
Finding your NOC code(s) is one of the first steps in your Canadian immigration journey. Two other important actions are figuring out :
- If you need an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA), and if so, get one.
- If you need to take English and /or French language tests.
