Federal Skilled Trade Workers Demand list
The IRCC officially updated the list of Federal Skilled Trade Workers Demand list for Express Entry certificates of qualification on September 8, 2023. This list now has a total of 101 occupations.
The best thing about this is that there is no need for previous work experience in any of these occupations; you just need to get a certificate of qualification for one of these 101 occupations.
A certificate of qualification awards up to 50 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points to an Express Entry profile.
Furthermore, there is no need for a job offer from a Canadian employer to get these additional points.
Once getting fluent in one of these trades, you can then clear an examination to get a certificate of qualification from one of the Canadian provinces.
