Where TEER 1 sits in immigration rules

Each row gives the rule, then what it means for this occupation. The programs set many other conditions too, so read the official page before you act.

Federal Skilled Worker Program and Canadian Experience Class

The rule: both programs count work experience only in TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3.

What this means: NOC 11109 is TEER 1, so work in it is inside that range. The TEER is one condition, not the whole test. Both programs also set how much work you need (at least 1 year, or 1,560 hours), when you did it, and minimum language results.

Federal Skilled Trades Program

The rule: this program goes by NOC group, not by TEER alone. IRPR s. 87.2 lists Major Groups 72 (less Sub-major Group 726), 73, 82, 83, 92 and 93 (less Sub-major Group 932), Minor Group 6320 and Unit Group 62200, other than a restricted occupation.

What this means: NOC 11109 is not in one of the listed groups, so work in it is not skilled trade experience under this program.

Express Entry category-based selection, 2026

The rule: IRCC publishes a closed list of NOC codes for each category. NOC 11109 is not on any 2026 occupation list.

What this means: People in this occupation can still be invited in general or program-specific rounds. French-language proficiency is a separate category: it depends on test results (NCLC 7 in all 4 abilities), not on the occupation.

Atlantic Immigration Program

The rule: the program takes job offers in TEER 0 to 4 from designated employers in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The job must be full-time and non-seasonal.

What this means: A TEER 1 offer must last at least 1 year from the day the person becomes a permanent resident.

Provincial Nominee Programs

The rule: each province and territory sets its own requirements and streams, including which occupations and TEER levels a stream takes.

What this means: Check the stream's own page for this NOC code. One example from our program status registry:

Program status: OINP Ontario Workforce Priority stream: Open

The stream has launched and the expression of interest portal opened on August 4, 2026. It covers skilled workers with a qualifying job offer in any NOC occupation, plus self-employed physicians.

Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

The rule: an employer, not a worker, applies for an LMIA, and ESDC assesses each job offer. The wage offered, compared with the provincial or territorial threshold, puts the job in the high-wage or low-wage stream.

What this means: Service Canada refuses to process low-wage applications for jobs in census metropolitan areas where unemployment is 6% or higher. Some sectors are exempt, such as primary agriculture, construction, food manufacturing, hospitals, and nursing and residential care. ESDC updates the list of areas each quarter. When this page was checked (September 26, 2026), the ESDC page showed the list for July 10 to October 8, 2026; open the ESDC page for the list in force today. A separate pause covers low-wage jobs in Montréal and Laval.
