Truck drivers are now eligible for Express Entry

Canada is experiencing a shortage of truck drivers due to pandemic layoffs and an aging workforce.

Last week Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) released the NOC 2021 and made 16 new occupations professions eligible for Express Entry. Truck driving is among them due to significant labour shortages within the sector. NOC 2021 is a revision of Canada’s National Occupation Classification (NOC) system.
