Social workers
TEER 1 — Usually requires a university degree. Classification: National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 Version 1.0, published by Statistics Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada.
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 — Social workers 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.
