Express Entry Draw #327 – November 20, 2024
On November 20, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held a Category-based draw for the Healthcare Occupation Category. In today’s draw, 3,000 invitations to apply (ITAs) were issued to candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 463 or higher. IRCC has now invited 97,269 Express Entry candidates in 2024.
The category-based selection invites candidates in the Express Entry pool who are eligible for a specific category established by the Minister to meet an identified economic goal. Candidates can apply for permanent residence based on criteria such as:
- Ability to communicate in a specific official language
- Work experience in a specific occupation
- Education
These rounds add to general and program-specific rounds by inviting top-ranking candidates who can help us meet these specific economic goals.
To be eligible for the Healthcare Occupation Category, you must:
- Have accumulated, within the past 3 years, at least 6 months of continuous work experience (in Canada or abroad) in a single occupation listed here
- Meet all of the requirements in the instructions for that round
Full eligibility details will be available in the instructions for each round.
IRCC applied its tie-breaking rule with the timestamp of October 21, 2024 at 16:12:39 UTC, meaning candidates with a score of 463 were invited to apply if they had submitted their Express Entry profile before the timestamp.
If you have any questions about Express Entry, Permanent Residency, or other Canadian immigration programs, please contact us to schedule a consultation.
