  • IRCC’s Survey on Express Entry


    Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has launched its online survey as part of this year’s consultations on category-based selection in Express Entry.
    If you’re interested in providing feedback on the priorities that the Government of Canada should consider to help address Canada’s economic needs through category-based selection in 2025, please complete this survey by July 28, 2024.
    Take the survey now
    The economic priorities and categories we’re considering for 2025 are:
    • Addressing structural (long-term) labour market shortages (specific occupations in health, STEM, trades, transport, agriculture and agri-food, and education)
    • Supporting economic growth through Francophone immigration outside of Quebec
    • Addressing emerging labour needs in Canada’s key industries and sectors (natural resources, new technologies, and applied sciences)
    The survey is an opportunity for you to share your views on these proposed priorities and categories, and it provides space for you to suggest alternative, or additional, areas of focus.
    We invite you to read more about this year’s engagement initiative on IRCC’s website, and use the unique link provided above to answer our survey questions. Please don’t hesitate to share our website page with your networks if you wish to invite others to participate.
    Please note that these consultations are distinct from the consultations on immigration levels, which remain open until June 30, 2024.
    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us at IRCC.COMMConsultations-ConsultationsCOMM.IRCC@cic.gc.ca.
    Thank you,
    Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
