New TEER system replaces NOC skill levelsRather than the current approach of categorizing jobs based on skill type, the Canadian government will now categorize jobs based on a new Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) system.
Currently, NOC skill levels fall under four categories: A, B, C, and D.
NOC 2021 moves away from this approach and introduces the TEER system which has six categories: TEER category 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
TEER 0 | | TEER 1 | - Completion of a university degree (bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate); or
- Several years of experience in a specific occupation from TEER category 2 (when applicable).
| TEER 2 | - Completion of a post-secondary education program of two to three years at community college, institute of technology or CéGEP; or
- Completion of an apprenticeship training program of two to five years; or
- Occupations with supervisory or significant safety (police officers and firefighters) responsibilities; or
- Several years of experience in a specific occupation from TEER category 3 (when applicable).
| TEER 3 | - Completion of a post-secondary education program of less than two years at community college, institute of technology or CéGEP; or
- Apprenticeship training of less than 2 years; or
- More than six months of on-the-job training, training courses or specific work experience with some secondary school education; or
- Several years of experience in a specific occupation from TEER category 4 (when applicable).
| TEER 4 | - Completion of secondary school; or
- Several weeks of on-the-job training with some secondary school education; or
- Several years of experience in a specific occupation from TEER category 5 (when applicable).
| TEER 5 | - Short work demonstration and no formal educational requirements.
