The latest targeted Express Entry draw for physicians with the Canadian work experience category was held on 24 June 2026. In the draw 271 ITAs were sent to candidates for permanent residence. This latest draw by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) was for physicians with qualifying Canadian work experience, offering them a streamlined pathway to permanent residence.
Healthcare is one of the priority sectors in Canada, and the demand for doctors continues to be more than the current workforce available in several provinces and territories. By inviting physicians through Express Entry, the critical workforce gaps will be filled, supporting the long-term sustainability of Canada's healthcare system.
The healthcare-focused draws will remain an important part of Canada's immigration strategy in the coming months. Prospective candidates must keep their Express Entry profiles updated and must also ensure that they meet the eligibility requirements for physician-specific category-based selection. Furthermore, candidates must keep monitoring future category-based draws to secure permanent residence in Canada.
