On November 16, 2022, the Government of Canada expanded pathways to permanent residence in Canada for sixteen in-demand occupations. Nurse aides, long-term care aides, hospital attendants, elementary and secondary school teacher assistants, and transport truck drivers are only a few of the 16 new occupations that became eligible under Express Entry. The announcement of the new eligible occupations was made after the implementation of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021, which allows Canada to bring in foreign workers in high-demand sectors like health care, construction, and transportation.
