TEER 2 jobs in Canada

What TEER 2 means

TEER (Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities) is the second digit of every five-digit NOC 2021 code. A code like X2XXX is TEER 2. It describes the education or training usually needed to work in the occupation — not your personal qualifications.

Typical education and training

• Completion of a two- to three-year post-secondary program at a community college, institute of technology or CÉGEP, or
• Completion of an apprenticeship of two to five years, or
• Occupations with supervisory or significant safety responsibilities (for example, police officers and firefighters), or
• Several years of experience in a related TEER 3 occupation (when applicable).

Express Entry relevance

Work experience in TEER 0, 1, 2 and 3 occupations is the 'skilled' experience that the Federal Skilled Worker Program and the Canadian Experience Class under Express Entry look for. Program rules, minimum hours and category-based draws change, so confirm current requirements on IRCC's website before you apply.
