Express Entry largest draw: 932 New Applications Invited

Canada invited 932 Express Entry candidates in its latest draw to apply for permanent residence.

It invited candidates with a CRS score of 796. All the candidates who had applied received an automatic 600 points by holding a nomination from PNP.

Invited candidates have 60 calendar days to apply for the nomination.

In the previous draw, Express Entry invited 589 PNP candidates with a CRS score of at least 741.

From November, National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 will come into effect, allowing the following 16 occupations to become eligible for Express Entry:

  • Payroll administrators;
  • Dental assistants and dental laboratory assistants;
  • Nurse aides, orderlies, and patient service associates;
  • Pharmacy technical assistants and pharmacy assistants;
  • Elementary and secondary school teacher assistants;
  • Sheriffs and bailiffs;
  • Correctional service officers;
  • By-law enforcement and other regulatory officers;
  • Estheticians, electrologists, and related occupations;
  • Residential and commercial installers and servicers;
  • Pest controllers and fumigators;
  • Other repairers and services;
  • Transport truck drivers;
  • Bus drivers, subway operators, and other transit operators;
  • Heavy equipment operators; and
  • Aircraft assemblers and aircraft assembly inspectors.

There will also be three occupations that will become ineligible, including:

  • other performers;
  • program leaders and instructors in recreation, sport, and fitness; and
  • tailors, dressmakers, furriers, and milliners.

These three occupations may still be eligible for other Canadian immigration programs.

Currently, occupations are only eligible for Express Entry if they fall under NOC skill levels 0, A, and B. The new system defines the level of Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) required to enter each occupation. It will be replacing the current four-category “skill level” structure with a new six-category system. The 16 previously ineligible occupations are becoming eligible due to this recategorization.

The table shows how the new NOC’s six-category system compares to the skill levels of the current NOC 2016.

NOC 2016NOC 2021
Skill Type 0TEER 0
Skill Level ATEER 1
Skill Level BTEER 2
Skill Level B TEER 3
Skill Level C TEER 4
Skill Level DTEER 5

There are two reasons why the skill type model is being replaced by the TEER system, Canada Statistics says. First, the TEER system aims to clarify the level of education and work experience required to work in an occupation. Second, the skill-type model creates artificial categorizations between low- and high-skilled jobs. Implementing TEER is intended to give stakeholders a better sense of the skills required for each occupation.
