Category-based Express Entry draws are reshaping Canada’s immigration landscape by targeting candidates with specific skills and experience. Unlike general draws, these selections focus on priority labor market needs such as healthcare, STEM, trades, and French proficiency. In the middle of this evolving system, category-based express entry draws allow qualified applicants to receive invitations with lower CRS scores. This approach improves efficiency, aligns immigration with economic demands, and creates clearer pathways for skilled professionals planning their PR strategy.
