Canada to target occupations in Express Entry draws starting in 2023
Canada is preparing to change how Express Entry candidates are selected in the first quarter of 2023 and beyond.
Canada is currently undergoing a labour shortage due to an aging population and low birth rate. It is expected that nine million Canadians will reach the retirement age of 65 by 2030, and there are not enough younger Canadians to fill their positions, leading to a high number of job vacancies that will be difficult to fill. Canada relies on immigration to maintain its workforce and keep the economy strong.
