Recently, Canada has been conducting a lot of back-to-back Express Entry draws under various streams. Likewise, following the PNP draw conducted on the 18th of August 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada conducted another draw on the 19th of August 2025, specifically for professionals that fall under the Healthcare & Social Services category.
The basic criteria under which 2500 ITAs were provided by IRCC through Express Entry were that you needed to be a Healthcare or Social Worker who had an active profile in the Express Entry pool at 8:08 PM (UTC) on or before 23/04/2025. The minimum cutoff score qualifying for selection was announced to be 470 CRS points.
Based on the analytics done from the 4 draws conducted by the Canada Express Entry under the Healthcare & Social Services stream. Though the number of invites seems to be less than the previous draw conducted last month on the 22nd of July 2025, the cutoff score has been gradually decreasing from one draw to the other. This clearly showcases that the demand for Healthcare & Social Workers is still high and that there is a huge vacancy to be filled in that industry.
This being the 5th draw conducted in the month of August 2025, the Canadian government has sent about 55820 ITAs over a total of 32 draws conducted this year. In August 2025, the Express Entry conducted 2 draws for Provincial Nominee Program candidates, which sent about 417 ITAs together. 1 draw under the Canadian Experience Class stream that provided about 1000 ITAs, 1 draw for French Language proficiency that sent bulk invites to about 2500 ITAs and the latest one under the Healthcare & Social Services stream that provided another 2500 ITAs. So, there have been 6417 ITAs provided by the IRCC through Express Entry just in this month.
Considering the frequent draws, decrease in cutoff score numbers and the thousands of ITAs provided to Candidates around the globe, Canada proves to be open & welcoming to multicultural populations who are efficient and skilled in the field of their interest, especially in the Healthcare & Social Services Sector, to fill the void in the industry. This shows that candidates in that particular sector have an upper hand in reserving their place in their dream destination very soon. As there is a high expectation over the future draws that are to be conducted this year, Canada is clearly focused on picking skilled professionals from all major sectors and making sure to scale its way up the economic ladder.
