This implies more options for Indians to immigrate to Canada, particularly if they possess trade skills or have received provincial nominations. Are you trying to find work in Canada? This is your opportunity! Indian skilled people in trade professions are finding it easier to access Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Recently, the IRCC conducted a special Express Entry lottery aimed at skilled laborer’s in trade sectors. This is the first draw of this kind since December 2023, and it represents a renewed emphasis on luring talent in these vital domains. To those who qualified, 1,800 invitations to apply (ITAs) were sent out.

If you are an Indian worker with skill in a trade and have always wanted to work in Canada, this draw might be your chance.

Here are the key details to remember:

1. You would have needed to have received at least a 436 on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) in order to be eligible for this draw.

2. This draw is a component of a bigger IRCC project. This year, 5% of all invitations to apply through category-based draws would go towards trade occupations, according to their plans.

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) Draw:

On July 2, earlier this week, the IRCC conducted a draw that was only open to participants in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). 920 individuals were invited in this draw, with a minimum CRS score of 739 required of each. Since May 30, there have been more program-specific lotteries such as this one, with PNP candidates the focus of three of the last four draws.

Opportunity for Indians:

This implies more options for Indians to immigrate to Canada, particularly if they possess trade skills or have received provincial nominations. Professionals from India who are in Canada on work or study permits can investigate these avenues for obtaining permanent status.

The increasing emphasis on province nominations and certain categories gives talented workers a clearer path and increases their prospects of becoming permanent residents of Canada.
