BREAKING: IRCC announces new selection categories for Express Entry candidates

IRCC will focus on candidates with strong French language proficiency or work experience.

  • healthcare
  • science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions
  • trades, such as carpenters, plumbers and contractors
  • transport
  • agriculture and agri-food

Canada's commitment to welcoming in-demand professionals to communities.


Why are there new Express Entry categories?


Immigration is seen as a key component for reducing labour shortages and growing the French language in French minority communities outside of Quebec. Changes to the Express Entry system will help businesses with labour shortages and increase the number of French-proficient candidates.

 

How were the categories chosen?


IRCC will report annually to Parliament on immigration categories.


 

  • the categories chosen the previous year
  • why and how they were chosen
  • the instructions to establish a category
  • the number of invitations issued for each category


What is Express Entry?


Express Entry is an application management system that oversees three economic immigration programs, using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to assign scores based on human capital factors.
