- Sub-major groups 731 – General construction trades
From the Skilled Worker Overseas stream, the candidates were invited if they declared that they were invited under a Strategic Recruitment Initiative by the MPNP. 87 LAAs were issued to those with at least 691 EOI score or above. Out of the total ITAs sent, 81 were invited if they had a valid job seeker code and an Express Entry profile number.
