IRCC issues 1,800 invitations to apply in the Express Entry draw for trade occupations

Express Entry draw for “Trade Occupations” has been released by IRCC under the round of invitations. A total of 1,800 candidates were given invitations to apply for the PR. The comprehensive ranking system score remained at 436.

The successful candidates after receiving the ITA under trade occupations, have 60 days to apply for the PR.

This is the first trade occupations draw of this year after the last was released in December 2023. This category-based draw has been released after the last was issued back in April.

Canada is trying its level best to maintain the number of temporary residents in the country. This is why, category-based draws such as trade occupations, transport occupations, Health occupations, STEM occupations, and the French language community help temporary residents such as on study permits, work permits, or visitor visas to settle permanently in Canada.
