Jobs that qualify for Canada's Express Entry category draws

What you need to be invited

Three things. First, a profile in the Express Entry pool, which means qualifying for the Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades or Canadian Experience Class program. Second, at least 12 months of full-time work (or the same amount part-time) in one listed job within the last 3 years; the months do not have to be in a row. Third, a CRS score high enough for the round: IRCC invites the highest-scoring people in the group until it reaches the number it set.

Every job on the 2026 lists, A to Z

Find your job by name or NOC code. A job can sit in two groups: the three physician codes are in both healthcare and physicians.

Codes, titles and TEER levels as IRCC publishes them (NOC 2021).

Two categories that are not about your job

French-language proficiency

For anyone with NCLC 7 or higher in all four skills of an approved French test less than two years old, whatever their job. See every French round on the draw tracker

Skilled military recruits

Only for serving members of a recognised foreign military with at least ten years of continuous service and a job offer from the Canadian Armed Forces. Few people are invited this way.
