Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) recently held an Express Entry draw, inviting 4,000 candidates to apply for permanent residency. The draw targeted candidates in the Healthcare and Social Services occupations category.
To be eligible, candidates needed to meet the following criteria:
– Minimum CRS Score: 475
– Profile Creation Deadline: Candidates must have created their Express Entry profile before 1:08 p.m. UTC on March 13, 2025
This draw is significant, with a large number of invitations issued to candidates in healthcare and social services occupations. The relatively low CRS score threshold reflects the high demand for skilled professionals in these fields.
By targeting specific occupations, IRCC aims to address labor shortages and support Canada’s healthcare system. If you’re interested in immigrating to Canada through the Express Entry system, it’s essential to understand the eligibility criteria and requirements for each occupation.
