Category-Based Express Entry Draws
IRCC began conducting a new type of Express Entry draw, called a category-based draw, in June 2023. Intended to aid the federal government in its goal to bring more foreign nationals with specific work experience or proficiencies to Canada, this new draw type was designed and implemented as a means of helping address particularly prominent labour market challenges across the country.
Since December 6, a total of 13,975 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) have been issued in 5 Express Entry rounds of invitations, as listed below:
