The federal government announced the first STEM round for category-based selection of the Express Entry applications will open the week of July 5. In a news release, government officials said the previously announced system will provide a "streamlined and efficient pathway" for newcomers with experience in STEM fields, without requiring previous Canadian credentials such as education or Canadian work experience.
Candidates will be ranked based on the category’s requirements and those at the top of the list will be invited to apply for permanent residence.
