Governmental employees of provinces and territories, members of industry, unions, employers, workers, worker advocacy groups, settlement provider organizations, and immigration researchers and practitioners were part of this conference. On the basis of this conference, IRCC is implementing a new Express Entry candidate selection method to fulfill economic goals, which is known as the Category-based express entry system.
