According to statistics, Canada expects to receive 431,645 immigrants this year including the Express Entry draw. According to a report on immigration, the current immigration levels plan targets 447,055 new permanent residents next year and 451,000 in 2024. These ten Canadian cities offer employment through express entry. Brantford, Ottawa, Kelowna, Quebec, Calgary, Saskatoon, Abbotsford, Halifax, Victoria, and Toronto are just a few of the cities where you can get employment through Canada Express Entry. The employment rate rose by 17.3 percent in Brantford last year. It rose by 67 percent in Ottawa.

It is now critically necessary for Canada to accept more immigrants, including qualified people, in order to address the country's severe labor market shortages as a result of a significant number of Canadians retiring this year. 5 million Canadians are expected to retire by the end of the decade and the economic necessity for immigration is more vital than ever, even the minister of immigration Sean Fraser continued in a tweet. As an economic immigrant, applying for jobs in Canada through one of three programs—Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Federal Skilled Trades (FST), or Canada Experience Class (CEC)—is the best option. And the Express Entry mechanism is used by all programs.

Industrial, electrical, and construction trades, maintenance and equipment operation trades, technical jobs in natural resources, agriculture and related production, processing, manufacturing, and utility supervisors and central control operators are among the industries with a significant number of open positions. Additionally, there are openings for bakers, cooks, and chefs.
