Future of Express Entry Draws
The future of Express Entry draws will most probably continue to prioritize candidates with strong language skills, Canadian work experience, and those who have received a provincial nomination.
Though with the growing labour market Canada may also pivot toward targeted draws for specific occupations, such as healthcare and trades, reflecting economic demands.
