IRCC HELD THE SECOND HEALTHCARE-TARGETED EXPRESS ENTRY DRAW OF 2024

On July 5, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted its second occupation-specific Express Entry draw of the week, specifically targeting professionals in the healthcare sector. This draw, designated as round #301, saw a significant issuance of 3,750 Invitations to Apply (ITA) to candidates employed in various healthcare occupations. The cut-off score for this draw was set at 445 points, which represented a notable increase of 23 points compared to the previous healthcare-targeted draw. This adjustment underscores the evolving demand and competitive nature within Canada's immigration system, particularly for skilled healthcare professionals.

The tie-breaking rule for this round was applied to candidates who had submitted their Express Entry profiles before May 07, 2024, at 21:27:04 UTC. This criterion ensures fairness and transparency in the selection process, prioritizing candidates based on their earliest submission date.

In the broader context of 2024, Canada has already issued a cumulative total of 49,924 ITAs across 23 Express Entry draws. These draws reflect Canada's ongoing commitment to attracting and integrating skilled workers who can contribute to the country's diverse and robust healthcare landscape.
