About Category-based Draws of the Express Entry  


It indicates that Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) requirements for category-based draws are fewer than those for all-program draws. This pattern is supported by the recent hiring of healthcare professionals. On May 31, 2023, the Government of Canada launched a category-based selection for Express Entry, allowing IRCC to invite prospective permanent residents with specific skills, training, or language ability.  This year, invitations will focus on candidates with strong French language proficiency or experience in: 

  • healthcare, 

  • STEM professions, 

  • trades, 

  • transport, 

  • agriculture, and 

  • agri-food. 


Category-based selection supports Canada's commitment to welcoming skilled workers into communities nationwide.
