August 1, 2023—Ottawa—Canada’s Express Entry system is now tailored to provide a streamlined and efficient pathway for individuals with expertise in critical fields. By prioritizing the invitation of skilled newcomers with trade experience, Canada aims to meet the increasing demand for talent and fill key positions contributing to the nation’s economic growth and advancement.
On May 31, the Honourable Sean Fraser, the previous Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced changes to Express Entry through category-based selection. These changes help address labour shortages that support an identified economic goal by inviting candidates with specific work experience or French language ability to apply for permanent residence.
The Honorable Marc Miller, the new Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced that the first trade round for category-based selection would open this week. This focus on candidates with trades expertise—including carpentry, plumbing, and welding—will help Canada’s construction sector attract the skilled talent it needs nationwide.
Today, August 3rd, 2023, the Express Entry result was announced, targeting Trade Professionals in the Express Entry pool. The total number of ITA’s issued stood at 1500, and the CRS scores stood at 388.
