The implementation of category-based selection draws, like this one for healthcare and social services, allows IRCC to invite candidates with specific skills and qualifications that align with Canada's economic needs and labor market gaps. This approach has become a dominant mechanism for issuing ITAs in 2025, with a shift away from broad, all-program draws.

• EE Draw number: 348
• Date: June 4, 2025
• Number of invitations: 500
• Category: Healthcare and social services occupations (Version 2)
• Cut-off score: 504
