In the Healthcare and Social Services occupations category-based draw, which was held on June 25, 2026, 4,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residence have been issued. Candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 475 and who had created their Express Entry profile before 12:14 p.m UTC on May 21, 2026 were considered eligible.
This is the second Healthcare and Social Services draw and 34th Express Entry selection of 2026. Express Entry draws in 2026 have largely focused on candidates with Canadian work experience or provincial nominations.
As healthcare continues to be a priority sector in Canada, prospective healthcare and social services professionals are encouraged to strengthen their profile and maintain an active Express Entry profile so as to improve their chances of receiving an invitation in future draws. Upon receiving an ITA, the candidates can apply for permanent residence (PR) in Canada.
