TEER levels 0–5 explained — and how to find yours in 30 seconds
- TEER replaced the old NOC skill types (0/A/B/C/D) in November 2022 as part of NOC 2021.
- There are 6 TEER levels: 0 (management) through 5 (short-term training).

- LMIA wage floors change by TEER — recruiters and employers care about this number.
The 6 TEER levels
- TEER 0 — Management (e.g. marketing manager, IT project manager).
- TEER 1 — University degree usually required (e.g. software developer, RN, financial auditor).
- TEER 2 — College diploma or 2+ year apprenticeship, or supervisory role.
- TEER 3 — College under 2 years, or 6 months on-the-job (e.g. customer service rep, bookkeeper, cook).

Why TEER matters for immigration
Under Express Entry, only TEER 0, 1, 2 and 3 occupations count as skilled work experience for CEC and FSWP. TEER 4 and 5 experience does not qualify (though it may support other programs like the Agri-Food Pilot or an LMIA-based work permit). Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) sometimes accept TEER 4 for specific occupations.
