Understanding Category-Based Selection

Introduced in 2023, category-based selection draws allow IRCC to target candidates who can address specific workforce gaps. The six current categories are:

  • Healthcare occupations
  • STEM professions
  • Trades occupations
  • Transport occupations
  • Agriculture and agri-food occupations
  • French language proficiency

Candidates must also meet all the eligibility requirements for one of the three economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Canadian Experience Class, or the Federal Skilled Trades Program.

  • Improve your CRS score where possible
