Category-based Express Entry draws

Canada earlier this year introduced category-based Express Entry draws, marking a strategic shift in its immigration selection process. In these draws, invitations are issued to applicants based on specific categories, emphasizing diverse criteria like French language proficiency or experience in key occupation. For 2023 category-based draws, IRCC inviting candidates with proficiency in French language or having work experience in one of the following 5 occupations:

  • Healthcare
  • STEM professions
  • Trades
  • Transport
  • Agriculture and agri-food

This approach allows for a more nuanced and targeted selection of candidates, aligning with Canada s vow to a well-rounded and skilled immigrant population. The introduction of category-based draws reflects the country s flexibility in refining its immigration system to meet evolving needs, ensuring a strong and responsive approach to selecting individuals who can contribute meaningfully to the Canadian economy and society.
