About 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.

Frequently asked questions
NOC 2021 replaced the old 4-digit codes and skill levels (0, A, B, C, D) with 5-digit codes and six TEER categories (0–5). IRCC switched Express Entry to NOC 2021 in November 2022, so old 4-digit codes are no longer valid in a profile. If you only know your former code, search here by your job title to find the current 5-digit equivalent.
The TEER is the second digit of the 5-digit code. TEER 0 covers management, TEER 1 usually requires a university degree, TEER 2–3 typically require a college diploma, apprenticeship or supervisory experience, and TEER 4–5 need short training or no formal education. Express Entry programs generally require work experience in TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3.
Pick by duties, not title. IRCC assesses whether you performed the lead statement and a substantial number of the main duties of a unit group, and each group covers dozens of example titles beyond the headline name. Search a broader term or a synonym (the tool maps common ones automatically), then open the Statistics Canada Details link and choose the group where most of your day-to-day duties fit.
IRCC publishes occupation lists for each category — such as healthcare and social services, STEM, trades, education, agriculture and agri-food — and invites candidates whose recent experience is in a listed NOC. The lists are revised year to year, so once you have identified your code here, check it against the current category lists on canada.ca before counting on a category draw.
