The federal government has announced the targets in its latest effort to address labour shortages through economic immigration, promoting jobs in health care and social services, education and the trades as prioritized pathways to permanent residence.
Identified among this year’s Express Entry categories, the Thursday announcement from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) highlighted selected occupations including family doctors, nurses and dentists, carpenters and contractors, teachers, child care workers and instructors for persons with disabilities.
“IRCC continues to focus economic immigrant selection efforts on priority sectors,” the announcement reads. “This allows us to issue invitations to apply to prospective permanent residents who have specific skills, training or language abilities in order to bring those in-demand professionals to Canada.”
