Skilled Trades Express Entry Draw History

All trades occupation category Express Entry draws โ€” CRS cutoffs and results for electricians, plumbers, welders, carpenters, and other skilled tradespeople.

Skilled Trades Category โ€” Who Qualifies

Canada has a critical and growing shortage of skilled tradespeople. IRCC introduced the trades category to specifically target these workers with dedicated Express Entry draws at lower CRS cutoffs than the general pool.

Trades draws target candidates with experience in construction, maintenance, oil and gas, and manufacturing occupations under TEER 2 and TEER 3 of the National Occupational Classification (NOC).
