Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on Nov 14, 2025 has issued thousands of Invitations To Apply (ITA) to candidates under Express Entry system.

IRCC is regularly conducting category based draws inviting skilled workers for PR and this draw brings smile on the faces of healthcare workers in Canada who want to settle permanently in Canada.
In this year, we have seen regular Express Entry draws of PNP, CEC, Healthcare and French language, only 1 trade and 2 education draws were conducted this year.
Prior to this IRCC conducted CEC draw on Nov 12, 2025 and on Nov 10, 2025 it was PNP draw. The maximum ITA’s are issued under French language (36,000) followed by Canadian Experience Class (23,850) and Healthcare and social services (13,292) in 2025 so far.
Express Entry CRS Score Prediction
Healthcare and Social services had its highest cut-off of 510 for the May 2 draw but since then its falling, in the last 5 draws the score dropped from 504 to its lowest 462.
We predict next Express Entry healthcare draw would have CRS cut off in range of 465 to 475 depending how many invitations are issued, a large draw will result in significant drop of CRS score.
International graduates in Canada who don’t score big number under CEC draw should target healthcare draws to get ITA for permanent residency, you need valid express entry profile and minimum of valid 6 months of experience in healthcare and social services.
