Ottawa will start holding targeted Express Entry draws in 2023   To ease impending labour shortages, Canada will begin hosting targeted Express Entry draws specifically for skilled workers starting next year.   Immigration Minister Sean Fraser explained that targeted draws would allow the government to select workers by the sector and the location they intend to live in Canada.   Immigration Minister also stated his intention to work with provinces to simplify the process of foreign credential recognition for doctors and nurses.   This way, healthcare workers will be more efficiently employed under a specific skilled worker program targeting areas where demand is high.   #Express_Entry, #Targeted_draws, #Fraser, #healthcare_workers, #labour_shortage   (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck8w2quOOR_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will conduct Express Entry draws for candidates based on labour market objectives in the last quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. The Department is developing plans to engage with various stakeholders to provide new categories in Express Entry. Bill C-19 enables the immigration minister to invite Express Entry applicants based on criteria that support regional economic needs. Instead of relying solely on a candidate's CRS score, IRCC may now conduct invitation rounds based on the candidates' occupation, language or educational level.
