Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has recently announced its plans to introduce a new selection process for Express Entry draws that will focus on candidates in six specific categories. This development aligns with Canada’s current approach of conducting program-specific draws within the Express Entry application management system.

The upcoming category-based selection draws, anticipated to commence in the coming months, will provide an opportunity for Canada to invite skilled workers who possess work experience in high-demand professions. These targeted draws aim to support Canada’s commitment to welcoming professionals with the skills and expertise needed in communities across the country.

The six new groups identified for the Express Entry category draws by IRCC include candidates with the following qualifications:

  • Strong proficiency in the French language.
  • Work experience in the healthcare sector.
  • Work experience in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) professions.
  • Work experience in trades occupations.
  • Work experience in transport occupations.
  • Work experience in the agriculture and agri-food industry.

These new category-based draws mark an exciting opportunity for skilled workers who possess experience in these selected fields to contribute to Canada’s workforce and ultimately make Canada their new home.
