Canada just had one of its BIGGEST weeks in Express Entry history!
Canada just had one of its BIGGEST weeks in Express Entry history — and we are HERE for it!
IRCC dropped not one, not two, but FOUR Express Entry draws in a single week, sending out a whopping 10,670 Invitations to Apply between February 16-20! If you've been waiting and watching that inbox — this week was incredible.
The final draw of the week on February 20 was a Healthcare & Social Services draw (#398) that sent out 4,000 ITAs with a CRS cut-off of 467. That's nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, social workers, pharmacists and so many more getting one step closer to calling Canada home permanently! ![]()

To put this week into perspective, here's how it all played out:
Feb 16 — PNP Draw: 279 ITAs
Feb 17 — Canadian Experience Class: 6,000 ITAs (yes, SIX THOUSAND!)
Feb 19 — Physicians Draw: 391 ITAs at a jaw-dropping CRS of just 169
Feb 20 — Healthcare & Social Services: 4,000 ITAs at CRS 467
Canada is clearly serious about bringing in skilled healthcare workers and professionals, and this aggressive draw pace shows exactly that.
One important heads-up from us — there are reports that some candidates with less than 12 months of healthcare work experience received ITAs in the Feb 20 draw. If that's you, please do not submit your application — you may not meet the eligibility requirements and doing so could seriously jeopardize your immigration journey. Reach out to us before you do anything!
If you're in healthcare, or know someone who is, NOW is the time to get your Express Entry profile in order. Draws like these don't come around every day — but when Canada is on a roll like this, you want to be ready!
