Impact of the New NOC System in Canada on Express Entry Eligibility
Canada uses the National Occupational Classification or NOC to determine the educational and skill level required to pursue a career in Canada. IRCC uses this NOC to determine the eligibility of occupations under permanent and temporary residency programs.
The Canadian Government will start following the new National Occupational Classification from November 2022. According to the new NOC system, 16 new occupations will be eligible to apply for Express Entry programs. And three occupations will be ineligible for the same.

NOC 2021 also brings forth new terminology and a revised classification structure. Here are the 16 new occupations the new NOC considers eligible:

Skill-Level Update in New NOC System
Initially, NOC consisted of four skill levels such as
- NOC A- Jobs that require a university degree
- NOC B- Jobs for skilled trades and require a college diploma
- NOC C- Jobs that require job-specific training or intermediate skills
- NOC D- Labour jobs that require on-the-job training
The new NOC system ditches the concept of skill levels. Instead, it organizes occupations on the basis of Education, Training, Responsibilities and Experience. The NOC skill levels transfer to the new system as shown:

As you can see, the new NOC will use a five-tier hierarchical system for classifying occupations. NOC 2021 also replaces the four-digit codification system and embraces the five-digit system.
