Quick answer

Look up a NOC 2021 code by number — the fastest way to find any Canadian occupation
- NOC 2021 uses 5-digit codes; NOC 2016 used 4-digit codes.
- Type the code above — the tool returns the occupation, TEER level and full page when available.
- The most-searched NOCs (customer service, warehouse, RN, accountant, software developer) have full duties + wage pages.
- For 4-digit legacy codes, the ESDC concordance table maps to the 5-digit equivalent.
- Always cross-check rare codes against the official ESDC NOC 2021 database.
How the 5-digit code is structured
- Digit 1 — broad occupational category (0 management, 1 business/finance, 2 sciences, etc.).
- Digit 2 — TEER level (0–5) for most codes.
- Digits 3–5 — narrow occupation within the broad group.
Common NOC 2021 codes searched in Canada
- 64409 — Customer and information services representatives (TEER 3).
- 75101 — Material handlers / warehouse workers (TEER 5).
- 11100 — Financial auditors and accountants (TEER 1).
- 21232 — Software developers and programmers (TEER 1).
- 31301 — Registered nurses (TEER 1).
- 73300 — Transport truck drivers (TEER 3).
How this tool works
- Type a 5-digit NOC 2021 code (spaces and dashes are ignored).
- The lookup returns the occupation title and TEER, plus a link to our detailed page (duties and Job Bank wages) when one exists.
- Old 4-digit NOC 2016 codes don't convert to NOC 2021 by adding a digit. If you only have a 2016 code, find the new code with the official NOC 2016–2021 concordance or by searching your duties.
- The data covers commonly searched occupations; the official NOC site is complete.
Worked example: decoding 72410
72410 — Automotive service technicians, truck and bus mechanics and mechanical repairers.
- 7 — broad category: trades, transport and equipment operators and related occupations.
- 2 — TEER 2 (apprenticeship of two or more years is typical).
- 72 — major group: technical trades and transportation officers and controllers.
- 72410 — the unit group itself, with its own lead statement, example titles and main duties.
See our automotive service technician resume example for how that duty language turns into resume bullets.
Tips for job seekers in Canada
- Codes ending in 0 at the minor-group level don't always mean a "general" job — always read the unit group's lead statement.
- Job Bank lets you search wages and outlooks by NOC code, which is a quick way to check pay expectations for a region.
- When a form asks for a 4-digit NOC, it's using the old 2016 version. Don't mix versions on the same application, and don't guess a 2021 code from a 2016 one.
- If two codes look plausible, compare the "Exclusions" section on the official pages — it often points to the right one.

Frequently asked questions
What is a NOC code?
The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is Canada's system for classifying every job by a 5-digit code. NOC 2021 is the current version; NOC 2016 used 4-digit codes.
How do I look up a NOC code by number?
Type the 5-digit code above — we return the matched occupation title, TEER level, and (when available) the full duties/wages page. Old 4-digit NOC 2016 codes don't convert to 2021 codes by adding a digit, so look those up with the official NOC concordance.
What is NOC 64409?
NOC 64409 is Other customer and information services representatives — TEER 4 (the second digit is the TEER). It covers many call-centre, retail service-desk and public information roles.
What is NOC 75101?
NOC 75101 is Material handlers — TEER 5. Includes warehouse workers, warehouse associates, order pickers and shipper/receivers.
Are all NOC codes in this lookup?
The most-searched Canadian NOCs return a full page with duties, wages and top provinces. The wider NOC 2021 seed covers many more codes with title + TEER; rare codes should be verified on the official ESDC NOC site.
Are 4-digit NOC codes still valid?
For Canadian immigration submissions after November 2022, no — IRCC requires the 5-digit NOC 2021 code. Use the ESDC concordance table to convert.
What is the difference between NOC 2016 and NOC 2021 codes?
NOC 2016 codes have four digits and use skill levels (0, A, B, C, D). NOC 2021 codes have five digits and use TEER categories 0–5. IRCC moved to NOC 2021 on November 16, 2022.
Where can I find the official description for a NOC code?
On the NOC 2021 site run by ESDC and Statistics Canada. Search the code to see the lead statement, example titles, main duties, employment requirements and exclusions.
