Category-based Express Entry draws

This was the sixth category based draw this year. Now, the IRCC is conducting the category-based draws as well.

In 2023 category-based draws, the IRCC will focus on inviting candidates under below categories:

  • Strong French language skills
  • healthcare
  • science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions
  • trades, such as carpenters, plumbers and contractors
  • transport
  • agriculture and Agri-food
