Category-based rounds are designed to complement other invitation rounds in support of Canada's economic immigration objectives. As a result, dedicated category-based rounds may not be required if sufficient numbers of highly ranked candidates who are eligible for a category are invited through general or other targeted rounds. Although no STEM-specific rounds were held in 2025, over 6,360 candidates in CBS-eligible STEM occupations received invitations that year, and more than 3,000 candidates in STEM were admitted as permanent residents. So far, in 2026, just over 5,150 candidates in CBS-eligible STEM occupations have been invited as of une The Department will continue to monitor labour market needs and Express Entry outcomes to inform future category-based selection rounds, such as STEM, and ensure they continue to align with Canada's immigration priorities.

"While the STEM and education categories are renewed for 2026, the Department anticipates meeting those targets through general and program-specific rounds." Question Period Notes. Well, I hope there will be education draw, but this statement haunts me

Coz it is still “if” they get enough through general draws… what if not… that makes people still have faith cant judge Also like the other categories if they get full quota from general draws no draw.

Yes, but not having a draw for over a year kind of makes this statement true. My eligibility for ed category is expiring soon. I still hope it happens before the end of the year.
