General practitioners and family physicians

Does this occupation qualify for Express Entry?

The Canadian Experience Class and the Federal Skilled Worker Program both require skilled work experience in NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 — General practitioners and family physicians is TEER 1, so work experience in this occupation meets that structural requirement for both programs. Meeting this TEER requirement is one eligibility factor among several (language, education, and program-specific rules also apply) — it does not by itself mean an individual application would be accepted.

The Federal Skilled Trades Program has its own specific list of eligible trade occupations, separate from a general TEER 2/3 rule — check the official Federal Skilled Trades eligibility list ↗ for whether this specific occupation is included.

The first digit places General practitioners and family physicians in health occupations, one of ten broad categories and the home of 43 of the 516 unit groups. The second digit is the TEER — 1 here. Digits one to four (3110) are the minor group this occupation shares with its closest neighbours, and all five identify the unit group itself.

Counts are computed from all 516 unit groups published in NOC 2021 Version 1.0. 140 of them fall in TEER 4 or 5, outside the structural skilled-work requirement shared by the Canadian Experience Class and the Federal Skilled Worker Program. Read the full breakdown of all 516 codes →
