Express Entry: Canada Issues 2,500 Invitations in Second Largest Healthcare Draw of 2025
On August 19, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted one of the year’s biggest healthcare-focused draws under the Express Entry system, issuing 2,500 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residency. This marks the second largest Healthcare and Social Services draw of 2025, underscoring Canada’s growing need for skilled professionals in this sector.
Key Highlights of the Draw:
- Number of ITAs Issued: 2,500
- Category: Healthcare and Social Services occupations
- Minimum CRS Score Required: 470
- Tie-Breaking Rule: Only candidates who created their Express Entry profile before April 23, 2025, at 8:08 PM (UTC) were considered.
Why Canada is Prioritizing Healthcare Professionals?
Canada continues to face significant labour shortages in the healthcare sector. With an aging population, increased demand for medical services, and pressure on public healthcare infrastructure, the government is making it a priority to welcome doctors, nurses, social workers, and allied health professionals through targeted Express Entry draws. - This strategy not only addresses immediate staffing gaps but also ensures that newcomers play a vital role in strengthening Canada’s healthcare and social services system for the future.
- Benefits for Healthcare & Social Service Professionals:
If you receive an ITA through this category, you gain a direct pathway to Canadian Permanent Residency (PR). Successful candidates will benefit from: - Long-term career opportunities in Canada’s expanding healthcare sector
- Access to world-class healthcare and education for you and your family
- Permanent residency rights, including the option to apply for Canadian citizenship in the future
- High quality of life in one of the world’s most immigrant-friendly countries.
