Express Entry for Healthcare Professionals
How Canada's Targeted Express Entry Works
• Create an online Express Entry profile and enter the pool as a skilled worker.
• IRCC conducts draws targeting specific 2021 NOC codes for healthcare and related social services roles.
• Candidates with competitive CRS scores in these occupations receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
• Once PR is approved, you can live and work anywhere in Canada, subject to provincial licensing and registration.
We help you select the correct National Occupational Classification (NOC) code, prepare documentation, and position your profile to benefit from healthcare and social services targeted draws.
