On May 31, 2023, the Government of Canada launched a category-based selection for Express Entry, allowing the IRCC to invite prospective permanent residents with specific skills, education or language abilities. This year, invitations will focus on candidates with strong French language skills or experience in health care, STEM occupations, skilled trades, transportation, agriculture and agri-food. Category-based selection supports Canada’s commitment to welcoming skilled workers to communities across the country. In June 2022, Canada will amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to select immigrants based on key economic attributes, such as work experience and French language proficiency.
