Agriculture and Agri-Food is one of five occupational sectors that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has chosen to prioritize through Express Entry category-based draws in 2023.
In an attempt to aid key employment sectors with some of the largest labour market gaps in this country, IRCC introduced category-based selection draws for Express Entry earlier this year.
These draws, the first of which took place on June 28, are designed to attract immigration candidates with work experience in these particular sectors* to come to this country. This is because the government has identified a need for workers in these sectors for Canada to continue to develop and thrive.
