The Canadian Government targeted Express Entry draws spring 2023

Express Entry draws spring 2023

The Canadian Government started targeting Express Entry draws spring 2023. Express Entry’s targeted draws are expected to be released in spring 2023 to provide greater flexibility to meet changing economic objectives and government priorities. The Canadian Government aims to contribute substantially to sustainable long-term development and economic growth by selecting individuals with specific talents and expertise. 

 

Express Entry draws spring 2023 Divisions

With yet-to-be-determined categories, the divisions and classifications will evolve as the government works with provincial and territorial partners and solicits feedback from key stakeholders. The IRCC suggests that draws will be based on factors like language proficiency, education, or work experience in a particular occupation even if specific categories have not yet been created.

 

Sean Fraser, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, has frequently said that regional targeting will also be used for drawings. Fraser defended his commitment to encouraging regional immigration in front of the Standing Committee on Immigration and Citizenship on November 29.

 

Fraser stated projects like the Atlantic Immigration Program, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot, and “new flexibilities in the Express Entry system that allow us to do targeted draws not just by region, but also by the sector in which those regions have the highest labor market needs.” He added, “You will probably notice that there is a significant increase in the regionalization of immigration numbers.”

 

Immigration Targets 2023 – 2025

The most recent immigration plan supports immigration as a technique to assist deal with labor shortages. Additionally, it seeks to draw talent for vital fields like healthcare, skilled professions, manufacturing, and technology.

In order to solve these shortages and fill in-demand occupations in the industries with the highest demand, Express Entry will be a crucial tool.

The annual flow of new immigrants to Canada will increase over the next three years. In 2023, Canada plans to bring in 465,000 new immigrants. In 2024, the target will increase to 485,000 new immigrants. Additionally, it will increase to 500,000 additional immigrants in 2025.

The new strategy also seeks to expand regional initiatives like the Provincial Nominee Program, the Atlantic Immigration Program, and the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot to address specific local labor market demands.

 

Why is Express Entry changing?

Bill C-19, an omnibus bill that contained the implementation of targeted Express Entry draws, was passed by Canada in June 2022. Previously, the IRCC could only hold drawings for certain programs or change the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. For instance, the IRCC only conducted draws for the PNP and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) in 2021.

IRCC may now invite candidates based on an economic objective following the passage of C-19. For example, Canada might conduct a draw for candidates who have proven proficiency in French.
