According to the agency, the aim was to recruit skilled professionals for key sectors to help boost Canada's economy.
In a post on X, the IRCC indicated that it was seeking professionals with the required education, training, credentials, and work experience.
Some of the listed professionals being sought include medical doctors, educators, professionals in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) occupations, transport, and other fields.
According to the IRCC, these professionals will have simpler pathways to gaining permanent residence in the North American country.
"These categories provide clear pathways to permanent residence for top international talent."
Candidates who apply from the pool in rounds throughout the year are chosen based on the points under Canada's Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
The latest news comes weeks after the country opened its doors to skilled tradespeople from Ghana and across the world, inviting carpenters, plumbers, machinists, and other craftspeople to relocate and build a future in the country.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) posted the call on Facebook on Sunday, June 21, 2026, urging qualified tradespeople with the right training, credentials, and experience to explore the country's available immigration pathways.

"Please do more large Healthcare & Social Services category draws. These workers are essential to Canada’s healthcare system and communities. While French draws are important, healthcare workers also deserve consistent opportunities for permanent residence.🙏🏻."

"You’d have never guessed this is what we’re seeking based on who they actually brought in over the last decade."
@CoolDud0631566 said:
"You required above categories but give PR to food service supervisors, grocery managers, brothers/consins of gas station owners, and many more with managed payroll and experience letters. Please announce your Express Entry changes."
