IRCC announced on 5th July 2023 it’s first-ever Express Entry draw targeting applicants with STEM educational backgrounds. Although the number of Candidates invited was limited to 500 and the CRS Score stood at 486, this move by the IRCC has undoubtedly raised the hopes of many applicants whose EE profile has remained untouched for more than two years in some cases. The positions include expertise in Civil Engineering, Electric and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Architects, Computer and Information System Managers, and many more—occupations with a STEM education background.
Recent announcements by the IRCC to bring more healthcare workers into Canada’s ailing healthcare system coupled with STEM category experts to boost the engineering and technology industry looking for a more skilled workforce to fill vacant positions. Canada’s Immigration Minister has made a visionary statement as follows:
“Canada’s ability to remain at the cutting edge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics depends largely on our country’s ability to recruit top talent worldwide. I’m excited to announce this STEM category-based selection round with my colleague, Minster Champagne, which will increase access to permanent residence for skilled workers with STEM experience. We look forward to welcoming these talented and innovative newcomers to our country.”
– The Honorable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
