Canada has conducted a new Express Entry draw at the beginning of 2026, issuing Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates within specific occupational categories, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
The move reflects Canada’s ongoing immigration strategy aimed at aligning newcomer selection with labour market needs, particularly in key sectors such as healthcare, social services, and technical professions.
The targeted approach is part of the category-based selection system introduced by the Canadian government to address persistent workforce shortages and support economic growth across provinces.
