On July 5, 2024, the province of Ontario issued 3,750 invitations to doctors and healthcare professionals with profiles in the Express Entry program to address the shortage of medical staff. Interestingly, the invited doctors had scores ranging from 379 to 430, which is significantly lower than the federal program. Normally, the minimum score required to receive an invitation through Canada’s Express Entry program is at least 505 points. This presents an exceptional and much easier opportunity for doctors to obtain permanent residency in Canada.
In early January 2025, the fourth round of Ontario’s provincial assessment program is set to take place, with a draw and invitation issuance for international family physicians, general practitioners, and many other healthcare professionals.
In the following sections, we will explain how you can take advantage of Ontario’s program to obtain permanent residency for doctors and healthcare professionals in Canada.
The targeted Express Entry occupation list for permanent residency of doctors and other healthcare professionals in Canada includes 35 professions in the healthcare sector. The country is actively seeking skilled individuals, such as dentists, psychiatric nurses, and physiotherapists, to address the severe labor shortage in the healthcare sector.
This shortage is due to Canada’s declining birth rate and aging population, highlighting the urgent need for skilled immigrants to fill these critical roles. To view the exact NOC TEER codes eligible for targeted Express Entry draws under healthcare occupations, refer to the table below.
Notably, since January 2023, Canada has issued 12,850 provincial invitations for doctors and healthcare professionals.

To be eligible for Ontario’s Express Entry draws and receive an invitation for permanent residency as a doctor or healthcare professional in Canada, you must first qualify under one of the immigration programs managed by Express Entry.
To clarify a common misconception, Express Entry is not an immigration program itself. Rather, it is an application management system that represents an individual’s intent to immigrate to Canada based on various immigration programs.
To immigrate to Canada, you must first create a profile to indicate your intention to move. If you meet certain criteria, including scores determined by various factors, Canada may invite you to apply for permanent residency. Doctors and healthcare professionals cannot apply for permanent residency through Express Entry unless they receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from IRCC, which is issued through periodic Express Entry draws.
IRCC will only accept your profile into the Express Entry pool if you qualify under one of the following immigration programs:
Then, based on the documents and information you provide regarding your work experience, education, age, and official language skills, you will receive a score in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
Your CRS score is one of the key factors in receiving an invitation during a draw. When IRCC conducts an Express Entry draw, invitations are issued to candidates with the highest scores.
Express Entry draws for the healthcare sector are conducted based on specific categories. To qualify under the category for doctors and healthcare professionals, you must have at least six months of full-time work experience in an eligible occupation within the past three years. You can refer to the table above for the list of eligible occupations.
As a doctor, nurse, orthopedic specialist, or healthcare professional, register your profile as an Express Entry applicant.
Ensure that you can prove you have at least six months of experience in the healthcare sector for all your eligible work experiences (i.e., within three years before submitting your application to IRCC and receiving an ITA).
3. Receiving an ITA
Wait to receive an ITA (or take steps to improve your score and increase your chances of receiving an ITA).
4. Applying for Permanent Residency
After receiving an ITA, submit your application for permanent residency in Canada as a doctor or healthcare professional.
