Canada’s new National Occupational Classification (NOC) system comes into effect on November 16, changing how foreign nationals fill out their applications when applying under the Express Entry Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker and Federal Skilled Trades programs.
And the arrival of NOC 2021 also means more occupations will be added to the in-demand jobs list, opening the door to more applicants under these programs.
A ministerial memorandum published in late February shows jobs including truck and bus drivers, orderlies, teaching assistants and dental assistants are to be included under the selection system.
16 Jobs Added To In-Demand List Under NOC 2021, Three Occupations Removed
The occupations being added are:
- Payroll administrators;
- Dental assistants and dental laboratory assistants;
- Nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates;
- Pharmacy technical assistants and pharmacy assistants;
- Elementary and secondary school teacher assistants;
- Sheriffs and bailiffs;
- Correctional service officers;
- By-law enforcement and other regulatory officers;
- Estheticians, electrologists and related occupations;
- Residential and commercial installers and servicers;
- Pest controllers and fumigators;
- Other repairers and servicers;
- Transport truck drivers;
- Bus drivers, subway operators and other transit operators;
- Heavy equipment operators, and;
- Aircraft assemblers and aircraft assembly inspectors.

Three other occupations that are eligible for Express Entry under NOC 2016, though, are being dropped under the NOC 2021. Those occupations are:
- Other performers;
- Program leaders and instructors in recreation, sport and fitness;
- Tailors, dressmakers, furriers and milliners.
The changeover to NOC 2021 means applicants under the Express Entry system will need to search for their occupation under the NOC 2021 list on the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) website and submit their Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) category and five-digit occupation code when filling out your profile for the Express Entry pool starting on Nov. 16.
Those who will have already submitted a profile but have not yet been sent an Invitation to Apply (ITA) by that date will have to:
- search for their occupation under the NOC 2021 list on the ESDC website, and;
- update their profile with their TEER Category and five-digit occupational code.
Those profiles must be updated on or after Nov. 16 for the applicants to remain eligible for any of the Express Entry programs, including the CEC, FST, and FSW.
Applicants Invited Before November 16 Should Apply With NOC 2016 Codes
Foreign nationals, though, who will have received an ITA before Nov. 16, must still submit their applications for permanent residence using the NOC 2016, the version of the NOC in effect that date.
With the NOC 2021, the IRCC is moving from its use of a four-digit number to categorize each occupation to a five-digit code.
Within the new five-digit code, the NOC 2021 breaks down the level of skill of each occupation, until Nov. 16 still called the Skill Levels, into six categories from the current four to better reflect the level of Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities, or TEER, of each job.
These TEER categories in the re-jigged NOC replace the current Skill Levels.
