New NOC System of Canada, i.e. NOC 2021 Version 1.0 has taken effect now from 16 November 2022. Several Immigration programs including federal Express Entry System and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) have adopted this system replacing the old NOC 2016 system.
Let’s find out how this new NOC has impacted the candidates registered under Express Entry and other programs.
As you already know that on November 16, 2022, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) switched to the 2021 version of the National Occupational Classification (NOC).
The applicants in the Express Entry System at now can be divided in two categories, i.e. (A) Profile submitted, but ITA not received, and (B) ITA received from IRCC. Now considering the above change, you must follow following instructions depending on your case:

The major change has occurred in the classification of occupations, as the new NOC 2021 will bring with it a shift to the Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) system replacing the old NOC skill types 0, A or B. Here is an anticipated comparison between old and new NOC system:
