What Draws Took Place in June?
June marked an increase in Express Entry activity, with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) holding two more draws than the previous month. A total of six draws took place, inviting candidates through:
- The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP);
- The Canadian Experience Class (CEC); and
- Healthcare and social services occupations (category-based selection).
IRCC had earlier designated healthcare and social services as a priority category for 2025, a focus reflected in this month’s draw types. Liberty Immigration’s team can help you align your profile with these priorities.
The number of ITAs issued in June, along with the corresponding CRS cut-off scores, is detailed below:
| Date of Draw | Draw Type | Number of ITAs Issued | CRS Cut-Off Score |
