EXAMPLE OF CODING IN NOC 2021 VERSION 1.0: JUDGES, LAWYERS AND QUEBEC NOTARIES

The main accomplishment of the NOC 2021 Version 1.0 was the overhaul of the “skill level” categorization by introducing a new categorization representing the degree of Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) required for an occupation. The redesign of the NOC for 2021 moves away from the previous version of NOC with four “Skill Level” categories to an innovative six-grouping “TEER” categorization.

The development of TEERS will offset not only the confusion in the use of the word SKILL LEVEL when speaking about occupations but will also remove the default of many to assume the terminology refers to a low-skill or high-skill occupation. The TEER more accurately captures differences in occupational requirements, which in turn will aid in the analysis of occupations.

The new breakdown of the NOC code, moving away from SKILL LEVEL into

TEERS will remove much of the guesswork as shown in the chart above. (https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/subjects/standard/noc/2021/ introductionV1)

The new NOC 2021 moved from a 4-digit number to a 5-digit number allowing more opportunity to drill down into a more specific occupation. For example: (https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/subjects/standard/noc/2021/ introductionV1)

Some examples of the new NOCs for our sector include: l Contractors and supervisors, landscaping, grounds maintenance and horticulture services (82031) l Harvesting labourers (85101) l Landscaping and grounds maintenance labourers (85121) l Managers in horticulture (80021) l Silviculture and forestry workers (84111) l Nursery and Greenhouse labourers (85103)
