Federal Express Entry Category-based Draw 267

A new Federal  Express Entry Category-based Draw 267 held Sep 28, 2023 and 600 Express Entry candidates who want to immigrate to Canada will receive invitations to apply for Canadian permanent residence. This draw is first-ever agriculture Express Entry draw.

On September 28, 2023, Canada conducted its first-ever Express Entry draw dedicated to the agriculture and agri-food sectors, and it’s not an opportunity you should miss.

In this historic draw, a total of 600 candidates were invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada. What’s truly astounding is the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score cut-off, which was just 354 CRS points, making it one of the lowest cut-offs ever recorded for a category-based Express Entry draw.

This unprecedented opportunity arises from the fact that the pool of eligible candidates in the Express Entry system for agriculture occupations is relatively small. Only three specific occupations qualify for consideration, and you could be one of the fortunate few to secure your place in Canada’s thriving agricultural landscape.

The eligible occupations are as follows:

• Contractors and supervisors, landscaping, grounds maintenance, and horticulture services (NOC code: 82031, TEER category: 2)
• Agricultural service contractors and farm supervisors (NOC code: 82030, TEER category: 2)
• Butchers – retail and wholesale (NOC code: 63201, TEER category: 3)
