The recent Express Entry draws targeting 500 healthcare workers and the issuance of 4,300 ITAs demonstrate Canada's commitment to attracting skilled professionals and addressing labor shortages. The Express Entry system offers a streamlined pathway for eligible candidates to apply for Canadian permanent residency. As the government implements category-specific draws alongside general and program-specific draws, prospective applicants should maximize their CRS scores and explore additional pathways, such as provincial nomination programs.

Going forward IRCC is looking at a mix of all-program draws, category-specific draws and PNP-Specific draws.
