New TEER System is replacing NOC codes for the Express Entry Stream, this year. It is going to come into effect around fall of 2022. The National Occupation Classification plays a vital role in Immigration of Canada, especially, in Express Entry Stream. To clarify, temporary foreign workers are required to demonstrate their work experience in skill levels 0, A or B to be eligible for this stream. Therefore, replacement of NOCs with TEER is definitely something you need to know..!!
