Canada issues 271 Invitations to Apply for Physicians in the Canadian Experience Class
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issues 271 ITAs for Physicians under the Canadian Experience Class category, with an active focus on hiring and integrating occupation-specific professionals into the Canadian workforce. The latest draw has a narrow eligibility pool, resulting in a significantly lower CRS, and is the second draw for physicians under CEC.
The latest draw highlights the federal government’s continued efforts to address the healthcare workforce shortage, making pathways accessible for qualified and experienced physicians to obtain PR.
Overview of the latest draw
Eligibility Criteria
The latest Express Entry draw for Physicians under the CEC category is designed specifically for skilled medical professionals who are required to meet the following eligibility criteria:
Minimum 1 year of work experience in Canada within the last 3 years.
Work experience required in TEER 0, 1, 2, and 3 occupations.
Language Proficiency is a must in accordance with specific job requirements.

What does the Express Entry draw for Physicians under the CEC category mean?
Canada’s federal government is actively planning to retain working professionals, especially in the medical workforce, who have already gained valuable expertise in their designated roles or domains. The latest Express Entry draw is the 2nd draw for physicians under the Canadian Experience Class this year by IRCC through selective Invitations to Apply (ITAs), reflecting the need to address labour shortages in the healthcare industry.
Candidates receiving an ITA under the specific category have a greater chance of securing permanent residency and contributing to the country’s long-term economic goals and healthcare needs, with a better work-life balance and increased exposure to international professionals. Excellent compensation packages, well above the national average, make Canada a perfect destination for securing a career in occupation-specific fields.
