Canada express entry job list 2023 [New certificate of qualification occupation List]

Canada express entry job list 2023 [New certificate of qualification occupation List] : The IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) officially updated the list of trade occupations eligible for Express Entry certificates of qualification on September 8, 2023. This list now has a total of 101 occupations.

The best thing about this is that there is no need for previous work experience in any of these occupations; you just need to get a certificate of qualification for one of these 101 occupations.

A certificate of qualification awards up to 50 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points to an Express Entry profile.

Furthermore, there is no need for a job offer from a Canadian employer to get these additional points.

So if you are someone inside Canada with a valid Express Entry profile or are planning on making one, then we can suggest enrolling in one of these skilled trades programs.

Once getting fluent in one of these trades, you can then clear an examination to get a certificate of qualification from one of the Canadian provinces.

There are also high chances that we could now see Express Entry draw for Transport and/or Trade occupations.
