IRCC Announces New Selection Categories for Express Entry Candidates

Canada’s Immigration Minister, Sean Fraser, has announced the launch of category-based selection draws for Express Entry candidates. Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will be focusing on Express Entry candidates who have a strong French language proficiency or work experience in the following fields:

  1. Healthcare
  2. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions
  3. Trades, such as carpenters, plumbers and contractors
  4. Transport
  5. Agriculture and agri-food

The new selection categories are aimed at attracting skilled workers who can contribute to Canada’s economy and help fill labour shortages in these fields.

The new selection categories will be implemented through category-based selection draws for Express Entry candidates. The draws will be conducted on a regular basis and will focus on candidates who have a strong French language proficiency or work experience in the above-mentioned fields.

The new selection categories are part of the government’s ongoing efforts to attract skilled workers to Canada and help fill labour shortages in key sectors of the economy.

You can find a complete list of eligible occupations under the new categories here.
