Canada Express Entry Occupation Draws: Every One Of The 82 Jobs To Be Targeted In
Canada immigration free assessment

Canada will begin targeting 82 jobs in healthcare, technology, trades, transport and agriculture through its Express Entry system this summer.

It is a major change for the flagship selection system, which has previously conducted draws based on immigration programs.

Candidates need at least six months of continuous work experience in Canada or abroad within the past three years in one of the occupations.

The occupations listed below are for 2023 only. The list could change next year.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada made changes to the Immigration, Refugee and Protection Act last year to facilitate the new targeted draws.
