Why are There Being Added New Express Entry Categories?
According to IRCC, new categories have been introduced to fill vacancies across Canada. It is believed that immigration will be crucial in addressing the labor deficit and improving the standing of the French language in communities of French outside of Quebec.
In light of this, Fraser stated, “Everywhere I go, I’ve heard loud and clear from employers across the country who are experiencing chronic labor shortages. These changes to the Express Entry system will ensure that they have the skilled workers they need to grow and succeed. We can also grow our economy and help businesses with labor shortages while also increasing the number of French-proficient candidates to help ensure the vitality of French-speaking communities. Put simply, Canada’s immigration system has never been more responsive to the country’s social or economic needs.”
The categories were selected in accordance with the law, which mandates that the Minister participate in open consultation with provinces and territories, business executives, labor activists, unions, employers, and organizations that offer services for settling immigrants.
