In the third Express Entry draw of the week, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 3,750 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for healthcare occupations. Candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score<\/strong><\/a> of 445 to qualify.<\/p>\n

This draw marks the second category-based selection of the week, following a July 4 draw targeting 1,800 candidates in trade occupations. Earlier, on July 2, IRCC held a draw exclusively for candidates in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), issuing 920 ITAs to those with a minimum CRS score of 739.<\/p>\n

With a total of 6,470 ITAs issued this week, this is the highest number since April. The trend of program-specific draws, initiated earlier this year, has continued. Since May 30, IRCC has conducted four such draws, three of which focused on PNP candidates.<\/p>\n

Program-specific draws are tailored for candidates within the Express Entry pool who apply through programs such as the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), or the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). PNP-only draws consider candidates with enhanced nominations through an Express Entry-aligned PNP stream.<\/p>\n

This recent emphasis on program-specific draws aims to stabilize the number of temporary residents in Canada by providing more pathways for temporary residents, such as those on work or study permits or visitor visas, to obtain permanent residency (PR).<\/p>\n

Many temporary residents apply for PR through the CEC or PNP, aligning with IRCC’s goal of meeting its annual target for “Federal High Skilled Workers” as outlined in the Immigration Levels Plan. This approach also helps reduce the number of temporary residents in Canada.<\/p>\n
