Introduction

The Government of Canada is committed to a diverse and inclusive society, and that includes a robust immigration system. The Category based selection program is one of the primary ways that individuals from around the world can make their way to Canada and contribute to our economy and society. The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration has just announced the latest round of Category Based selection, targeting healthcare occupations.

The Category Based system is designed to meet specific economic goals. It invites top-ranking candidates who can contribute to Canada’s economic success. Candidates are ranked based on their skills, experience, language proficiency, and other factors. The highest-ranking candidates are then invited to apply for permanent residence.
