Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced “category-based selection draws” for Express Entry in 2023. Since then, thousands of immigrants from India have applied for Canada PR visas from India and settled in Canada.

Six categories were selected under these draws, and 35 NOCs were targeted for the Healthcare Occupations category. To be eligible, you must:

  • Meet all of the requirements in the instructions for that round.

Pathway 2: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Apply under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program’s (OINP) Express Entry stream - Human Capital Priorities (HCP) stream, specifically tailored to attract skilled foreign workers to settle in Ontario permanently.

Requirements to apply:

  • Have at least 1 year of full-time or full-time equivalent work experience in the in-demand occupations.

  • Prove language proficiency of minimum CLB/NCLC level 7 in English or French.

To apply, first, you have to meet the federal Express Entry program requirements and be in the Express Entry pool through the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams.

Ontario selects candidates with strong educational backgrounds and relevant work experience to nominate for PR. If you get selected, you will receive a Notification of Interest (NOI) from the OINP based on your Express Entry profile to apply for the nomination under the HCP stream. You’ll be given 45 calendar days to submit a complete application – with complete information and documents.
