Ottawa, June 5, 2025 – Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued 500 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) under the Express Entry system in a targeted draw for candidates with experience in healthcare and social services occupations. This draw reflects the Canadian government’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the country’s workforce in critical sectors.

The latest category-based selection draw was conducted on June 4, 2025, and focused exclusively on professionals in healthcare roles such as nurses, doctors, social workers, and other essential support staff. The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required for this draw was 504, making it one of the more accessible opportunities for eligible candidates in these professions.

This initiative aligns with Canada’s broader strategy to address labour shortages and ensure that essential services continue to be delivered efficiently across provinces and territories. Healthcare and social services have remained priority sectors due to increased demand, especially in post-pandemic recovery efforts and Canada's growing and aging population.

The Express Entry system, Canada’s flagship application management system for skilled immigration, now includes category-based selection draws in addition to general and program-specific draws. These targeted draws aim to streamline immigration pathways for individuals whose skills are urgently needed in the Canadian economy.
Key Highlights:
• Draw Date: June 4, 2025
• Total Invitations Issued: 500
• CRS Cut-Off Score: 504
• Targeted Occupations: Healthcare and Social Services

IRCC continues to encourage qualified candidates from around the world to apply through the Express Entry system and stay updated on category-based selection opportunities that align with Canada’s labour market needs.
