IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) has issued 4000 invitations for healthcare professionals in the latest Express Entry Draw on July 22, 2025.
The latest Express Entry draw issued 4000 ITAs for candidates in the Healthcare and social services occupations category, bringing a CRS score of 475.
The Express Entry program, under the Skilled Migration Program, enables skilled professionals to migrate to Canada in a legitimate manner. This program allows applications based on a comprehensive ranking system (CRS) score. To be eligible for this program, applicants are bound to make at least 67 points on the point assessment grid. These points are calculated on certain criteria, such as age, English language proficiency score, educational qualifications, and work experience.
The last draw for the healthcare and social services occupation category was conducted in the month of June, inviting 500 ITAs with a CRS score of 504. This increase in the number of ITAs from 500 to 4000 indicates the demand for healthcare professionals in Canada is increasing over time.
The demand for healthcare and social services occupations is increasing over time for the past few years as Canada is facing an insufficiency of healthcare professionals.
The sudden increase in healthcare and social services professionals, such as dentists, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, physical therapists, physiotherapists, and psychologists, indicates better opportunities for healthcare professionals in Canada.
