Canada uses the National Occupational Classification or NOC to determine the educational and skill level required to pursue a career in Canada. IRCC uses this NOC to determine the eligibility of occupations under permanent and temporary residency programs. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Canadian Government will start following the new National Occupational Classification from November 2022. According to the new NOC system, 16 new occupations will be eligible to apply for Express Entry programs. And three occupations will be ineligible for the same. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Skill-Level Update in New NOC System<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Initially, NOC consisted of four skill levels such as<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • NOC A- Jobs that require a university degree<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

      • NOC D- Labour jobs that require on-the-job training <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The new NOC system ditches the concept of skill levels. Instead, it organizes occupations on the basis of Education, Training,  Responsibilities and Experience. The NOC skill levels transfer to the new system as shown: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
