The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, and the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, today announced that the first round of invitations for agriculture and agri-food occupations through category-based selection in Express Entry will occur this week. This focus on candidates with experience in the agriculture and agri-food sector—including agricultural service contractors, farm supervisors, and retail and wholesale butchers—will help the sector attract the skilled talent it needs across the country.
Canada’s Express Entry system is now tailored to provide a streamlined and efficient pathway for individuals with expertise in critical fields. By prioritizing the invitation of skilled newcomers with work experience in agriculture and agri-food jobs, Canada aims to meet increasing demand for talent and fill key positions that contribute to the advancement of the nation’s farming and food processing operations.
