Express Entry is now available to truck drivers following the implementation of the new National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021. The update was announced by Immigration Minister Sean Fraser in August, and 16 new jobs were added to the Federal Skilled Worker Program with the launch of the new NOC system on November 16. Transport Truck Drivers take NOC code 73300 under this classification. It is still uncertain how truck drivers will be chosen through Express Entry. Canada might start conducting draws based on certain industries and occupations next year, so it is possible that truck drivers will be targeted then.
