IRCC updated the pathway for francophone international students to boost bilingual communities
14th, Feb 2024
Canada will retain the same Express Entry categories this year, according to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
These include French, Healthcare, STEM, Trades, Transport, Agriculture and agri-food categories, selected based on Canada's economic needs and in consultation with stakeholders.
In 2023, there were 17 category-based draws across these sectors. Changes to the frequency of draws have been observed since the introduction of category-based selection in June 2023.
The impact of these changes on Canadian immigration will become clearer once more data is available and more receive permanent residency in early 2024.
