On November 16, 2022, IRCC switched to the 2021 version of the National Occupational Classification (NOC). This means that the current NOC 2016 skill type and skill level structure (NOC 0, A, B, C and D) has been replaced with a 6-category system representing the training, education, experience and responsibilities (TEER) needed to work in an occupation. The program delivery instructions have been updated to reflect the changes.
