Express Entry: Category-Based Selection
Get Selected Through Canada’s Express Entry Category-Based Draws
Do you have skills, work experience, or language abilities that match Canada’s immigration priorities? Category-Based Selection allows Express Entry to invite eligible candidates who meet specific economic immigration categories.
At G Square Immigration, we help you assess your profile, identify suitable categories, improve your Express Entry application, and prepare for an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
What is Category-Based Selection?
Category-Based Selection is a process within Express Entry that allows IRCC to invite candidates who meet specific eligibility requirements for categories selected by Canada.
Categories can focus on factors such as French-language proficiency, healthcare, STEM, trades, education, transport, and other priorities that may be updated by IRCC.
