Most In-Demand Trades in 2026
Express Entry: Trade Occupations Category
IRCC has designated "Trade Occupations" as a priority category for Express Entry. If you have at least 6 months of continuous work experience in an eligible construction trade within the last 3 years, you can get PR with incredibly low CRS scores compared to general draws.
Historically, trade workers struggled in Express Entry due to lower formal education points. The new category-based draws completely bypass this hurdle.
