Healthcare Express Entry Category — Who Qualifies

Healthcare and social services is one of Canada’s most active Express Entry categories. Canada has a significant shortage of regulated healthcare professionals, and IRCC has responded by holding frequent targeted draws for this occupation group.

Eligible occupations include registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, physicians, pharmacists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, medical laboratory technologists, dental hygienists, and other regulated health professionals.

Invitations Per Draw
New in 2025: IRCC added a dedicated Physicians category for foreign-trained doctors with at least 12 months of Canadian clinical work experience. The first draw in February 2026 had a record-low cutoff of 169 CRS points — because eligible candidates were scarce.
