    Driving Success: Canada's Immigration Fuels Transportation Sector Growth.

    Canada's transportation industry is a vital component of the country's supply chain, with the trucking sector alone accounting for a substantial 70% of domestic freight transportation. However, the industry is facing challenges, particularly a pressing shortage of qualified drivers, which could impede its ability to meet the growing demand. To address this, the industry is exploring ways to attract skilled professionals, including international recruitment.

    Recognizing the importance of skilled professionals in the transportation sector, Canada has prioritized transportation occupations in its Express Entry program. Starting in 2023, the Canadian government introduced category-based Express Entry draws specifically targeting transportation professionals. This strategic move is aimed at bolstering the sector and filling the gaps created by the ongoing labour shortages. Transportation professionals, ranging from aircraft assemblers to transport truck drivers and air traffic controllers, are encouraged to explore the opportunities presented by the Express Entry system.
