[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Canada has introduced category-based selection for invitation rounds held under the Express Entry system. In 2023, Canada is prioritizing professional experience rather than the ranking score of an [Express Entry System](https://www.kansaz.in/canada-immigration/express-entry) candidate. Previously, invitations to apply were issued on the basis of the ranking in the Express Entry pool. With the introduction of [category-based selection](https://www.kansaz.in/news/canada-launches-category-based-selection-in-express-entry#:~:text=For%20the%20year%202023%2C%20IRCC%20has%20selected%206,Trade%20occupations%20Agriculture%20and%20agri-food%20occupations%20French-language%20proficiency), the focus has shifted from the [Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)](https://www.kansaz.in/canada-immigration/crs-calculator) score to professional experience in targeted EE draws. Under category-based selection, 6 categories are being targeted by IRCC in 2023. These are - 1. Healthcare occupations 2. Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) occupations 3. Trade occupations 4. Transport occupations 5. French-language proficiency 6. Agriculture and agri-food occupations With the introduction of category-based selection, there is uncertainty among Express Entry candidates who don’t fall in any of the 6 categories. For them, the route ahead can be through a provincial government. With 80+ immigration pathways available, [Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)](https://www.kansaz.in/canada-immigration/pnp/) is the leading route for economic immigration. All provinces and territories are a part of Canadian PNP except Quebec and Nunavut territory. In 2023-25, a total of [3,33,000 PR visas](https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/notices/supplementary-immigration-levels-2023-2025.html) will be granted under the PNP. | **Canada PR Visas by PNP in 2023-25** | | | --- | --- | | Year | PR Visas to be granted | | 2023 | 105,500 | | 2024 | 110,000 | | 2025 | 117,500 | | TOTAL | 3,33,000 | Most of the provinces have a list of targeted occupations in demand. | **Canadian Provinces with PNPs and their Targeted Occupations ** | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Province | PNP | Targeted occupations | | [Alberta ](https://www.kansaz.in/canada-immigration/pnp/alberta) | Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) | There is no list of targeted occupations.
