Immigration : Canada has introduced a groundbreaking approach to its Express Entry system, opting for category-based selection for newcomers with transport sector work experience.
This strategic move by the IRCC aims to address labour shortages and enhance economic goals by inviting candidates with relevant work experience or French language skills to apply for permanent residency.
Marc Miller, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, has revealed the commencement of the initial invitation round targeting transportation roles under the Express Entry program.
This initiative seeks to draw in highly skilled professionals with expertise in the transport industry, including commercial truck drivers, pilots, and aircraft assembly personnel. The objective is to provide the sector with the skilled workforce necessary to effectively support Canada’s transportation needs.
