Canada Invites 300 Transport Workers to Apply for Permanent Residence

Canada has conducted its first permanent residence selection under the revamped Transport category of Express Entry, issuing 300 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) on August 7, 2026. Candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 470 and must have created their Express Entry profile before October 11, 2025 2:55 p.m., Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

The draw is the first selection under the renewed Transport category after Canada reintroduced it in February 2026 with a new list of eligible occupations. The category is designed to address labour shortages in key transportation-related fields. Eligible occupations include air pilots, aircraft mechanics and inspectors, and automotive service technicians and truck and bus mechanics. Candidates with relevant work experience may benefit from targeted category-based selection providing another pathway toward Canadian permanent residence.
