Third Healthcare Occupations Category-Specific Draw

Draws centered around specific categories enable the governmental body to pinpoint individuals possessing the highly sought-after skills and occupations within Canada. This approach proves beneficial for applicants in these specific categories because the threshold CRS score is lower than for all-program draws. Such a strategy ensures that a more diverse range of profiles and experiences are considered, moving beyond relying solely on CRS scores for these special draws.

The draw conducted today represents the third of its kind, exclusively targeting healthcare professionals, succeeding the previous one dated July 6th, draw #255. Post the establishment of Healthcare Occupations (2023-1) on June 28, 2023, a consistent 300% augmentation in invitation numbers has been noted for each subsequent category-specific draw. This trend is due to a reduction in the minimum required CRS score by 22.5 points since the inaugural draw of this category. As a result, this has broadened the pool of Express Entry candidates considered eligible, bringing the category to a limit of 3,600 invitations.
