Express Entry is the Canadian government’s electronic system for managing applications for permanent residency in Canada. The system is designed to prioritize skilled workers who are likely to succeed in Canada’s labour market. Here are 16 professions that are currently in demand in Canada and eligible for immigration through the Express Entry system:

It’s important to note that the eligibility criteria for Express Entry can change over time, so it’s always a good idea to check the current requirements before applying. Additionally, meeting the eligibility criteria doesn’t guarantee that an applicant will receive an invitation to apply for permanent residency. The Express Entry system uses a points-based system to rank applicants based on factors such as age, education, language proficiency, and work experience.
