New Express Entry Draw For 10 Transport Occupations

Uncategorized

Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, announced that the first transport Express Entry draw will take place this week.

This emphasis on applicants with transportation experience, such as commercial truck drivers, pilots, and aircraft assembly workers, will help the industry attract the competent talent it requires across the country.

The Express Entry system in Canada is now customized to provide a simplified and fast pathway for those with significant subject expertise.

Canada aspires to fulfill the increasing demand for talent and fill essential positions that contribute to the nation’s economic growth and advancement by prioritizing the invitation of qualified newcomers with work experience in transportation occupations.

This targeted Express Entry draw will be focused on profiles with at least six months of experience in one of the below-listed 10 occupations.

Canada confirms its commitment to attracting top global talent and assisting in meeting the economy’s need for transportation workers through category-based selection.

These category-based selection rounds, as well as general and program-specific invitation rounds, will continue throughout the year.

It will be important to see the size of this Express Entry draw targeted for transport occupations since it will determine the CRS cutoff score.

We are expecting the CRS cutoff score to be between 350 and 400, similar to what we saw in targeted trades draw.

Furthermore, it will be interesting to watch out to see if IRCC will be holding other targeted draws as well as the no program specified draw since there hasn’t been any round of invitations since August 15.

What is Express Entry?

Express Entry is an online system used by the Canadian government to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers.

It is a points-based system that ranks candidates based on factors such as age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and adaptability.

The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence through regular draws conducted by the Canadian government.
