Canada's Immigration department continues to emphasize its demand for skilled professionals in healthcare and social services occupations. The lower CRS cut-off of 470 in this express Entry draw increases opportunities for candidates in the healthcare and social services sectors to secure an ITA and move closer to Canada permanent residency (PR).
