For , IRCC has introduced some significant changes. They've introduced a category-based selection where candidates who are eligible for specific categories established by the Minister are invited to apply for permanent residence. The categories for 2023 are:

1. French-language proficiency
2. occupations
3. Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) occupations
4. occupations
5. occupations
6. Agriculture and agri-food occupations​

The eligibility criteria for these categories vary. For example, for the French-language proficiency category, one must have French-language test results that show a minimum score of 7 in all four language abilities on the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens​​. For other occupation-based categories, applicants must have accumulated at least 6 months of continuous work experience (in Canada or abroad) in a single occupation within the past 3 years​​.

Importantly, truck drivers have been added to the Express Entry program last year, and eligible workers must have accumulated at least six months of continuous work experience in their occupation in the past three years​​.

However, the information on the general requirements for outside of Canada applicants, such as 1 year of continuous service along with good education scores like CLB 7 or equivalent and a valid ECA, is not explicitly addressed in the recent changes. It is generally assumed that these conditions will remain intact, but official confirmation from IRCC is awaited.
