Canada’s Express Entry system is now tailored to streamline and efficiently accommodate 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 the increasing demand for talent and fill key positions that contribute significantly to the nation’s farming and food processing operations.
Addressing Labor Shortages and Bolstering the Agri-Food Sector
In a groundbreaking move, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada has unveiled a new initiative to attract skilled workers with expertise in agriculture and agri-food occupations to the country. Under the category-based selection system introduced on May 31, 2023, this strategic move aims to combat labour shortages and enhance Canada’s economic goals by welcoming candidates with specific work experience or French language proficiency as permanent residents.
Welcoming Skilled Talent to Power Agricultural Growth
The focus is on attracting candidates with experience in this sector, including agricultural service contractors, farm supervisors, and retail and wholesale butchers, to meet the growing demand for skilled talent nationwide.
These category-based selection rounds will continue throughout the year, running in parallel with general and program-specific invitation rounds. Canada’s commitment to attracting top global talent and supporting the economy by meeting the need for agriculture and agri-food workers is evident in this significant step forward.
