Program delivery update: Updates to work permit instructions due to NOC 2021 implementation
February 02, 2023
The instructions have been updated to change the references from the previous skill type and level hierarchy (type 0 and levels A, B, C and D) to the new Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) categories. There are six TEER categories 0 through 5.
All 4-digit National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes have been updated to the 5-digit code used in the 2021 version of the NOC.
In addition, the instructions have been reorganized and corrected for easier officer reference.
