TEER 1: common questions
What does TEER 1 mean?
TEER 1 is a level in Canada's NOC 2021 Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities system. Occupations that usually need a university degree. It is the second digit of a five-digit NOC code, so every TEER 1 code looks like X1XXX.
Are TEER 1 jobs eligible for PR?
Yes, by TEER. Express Entry's Federal Skilled Worker Program and Canadian Experience Class accept work experience in TEER 0, 1, 2 and 3 jobs. You still need enough experience, language test results and CRS points.
Is TEER 1 the same as NOC A?
Roughly. IRCC maps the old NOC 2016 skill level A to TEER 1. Codes changed from four to five digits, so look up the new code rather than reusing the old one.
