NOC Code Finder — NOC 2021 & TEER Lookup

This NOC code finder searches all 516 unit groups of NOC 2021 Version 1.0 — Statistics Canada's official National Occupational Classification — by job title or 5-digit code. Every result shows the code, the official occupation title and its TEER category, with a direct link to the full Statistics Canada profile listing example titles and main duties.

The TEER category is read straight from the second digit of the code: 21232 Software developers and programmers is TEER 1, 63200 Cooks is TEER 3. A built-in synonym layer translates everyday job words into the classification's formal wording, so searching "doctor" finds physician unit groups, "waiter" resolves to food and beverage servers, and "hvac" surfaces air conditioning mechanics. The entire list is loaded with the page and filtered in your browser — searches are instant and never sent to a server.

Your NOC code matters because most Canadian economic immigration hinges on it. Federal Skilled Worker and Canadian Experience Class experience must generally be in TEER 0–3, category-based Express Entry draws target specific occupation lists, and PNP streams, LMIA job postings and work permit applications all require the right code. IRCC matches you to a unit group by your actual duties rather than your job title, so use the Details link to compare the lead statement and main duties before committing a code to your profile.
