In the pursuit of economic stability and a pathway to permanent residence, many temporary residents in Canada, whether on work, study, or visitor visas, recognize the significance of securing employment. Understanding the most in-demand jobs in Canada not only aids newcomers in their job search but also plays a pivotal role in shaping their immigration journey.
In an effort to align immigration with the country's labor force needs, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has introduced Express Entry category-based selection draws. These draws specifically target candidates in the Express Entry pool with experience in professions critical to Canada's workforce. The targeted categories span five diverse fields:
1. Healthcare
2. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
3. Trade
4. Transport
5. Agriculture and Agri-food
Examining the list of targeted professions provides insights into not only the labor market's demand but also the occupations that IRCC deems essential for supporting Canada's economy through immigration. A correlation between IRCC's identified professions and those highlighted by human resource consulting firms and popular job boards reveals a significant overlap.
