🇨🇦 Draw #379

In Draw #379, IRCC set the CRS cutoff at 462 and issued 3,500 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) on November 14, 2025. This means all candidates in the Express Entry pool with a CRS score of 462 or higher received an invitation to submit a permanent residence application.

This was a Healthcare category draw, part of IRCC's category-based selection system. Healthcare draws target nurses, dentists, pharmacists, psychologists, and other medical professionals to address Canada's healthcare worker shortage.

This draw's cutoff was 19 points below the category average of 481, indicating a more favorable round for candidates. Lower cutoffs like this can result from IRCC issuing a larger number of invitations or from seasonal fluctuations in the candidate pool.

Candidates who received an ITA have 60 days to submit a complete permanent residence application. Those not invited remain in the pool for up to 12 months and will be considered in future draws.
