# Can I apply for Young Professional with a TEER 4 job?

## TEER 4 jobs may qualify if they're in your field of study.

Possibly. A TEER 4 job may qualify if it's in your field of study, but you'll need to submit extra information with your application, and TEER 4 applicants may have a lower chance of acceptance.

**The general rule:** According to the [Government of Canada](https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/iec/about.html), your job offer must count toward your "professional development." To count, it must be classified under Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) category 0, 1, 2 or 3 of the [NOC](https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/find-national-occupation-code.html).

**The TEER 4 exception:** A TEER 4 job may qualify if it's in your field of study. When you apply, you'll need to submit your [post-secondary](https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/new-life-canada/enrol-school/post-secondary.html):

- diploma,
- certificate, or
- degree
