The latest report from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) outlines exciting plans for inviting more applicants to Canada in 2025. Whether you’re eyeing a career in healthcare, education, or trades, there’s good news on the horizon!

Canada's Express Entry system is gearing up for more draws, particularly focused on sectors where skilled workers are needed the most. By aligning with their Immigration Levels Plans for 2025-2027, IRCC is planning to issue thousands of invitations to apply (ITAs) over the coming months.

For instance, in the education sector alone, an estimated 3,000 ITAs will be issued, while healthcare could see up to 8,000! If you’re qualified in these fields, keep an eye on your Express Entry profile's competitiveness.

The report also emphasizes the federal government’s commitment to enhance Francophone immigration across Canada. In fact, during a French proficiency draw earlier this year, a whopping 18,500 ITAs were given out!

Moreover, to assist provinces and territories in their planning, an ITA calendar will soon be shared. This will outline when the draws will take place and provide information about expected scores. Exciting times are ahead, whether you're aiming for a new job or a fresh start in Canada!
