Highlights of the Draw

The latest draw highlighted the five specific health occupations and out of them they have invited 1,696 candidates.
The cut-off range for the draw is 350 – 462 points. Usually, it has been seen that Ontario announces a similar range draw whichever the Express Entry Draw is held.
For instance, recently, on the 1st of August Express Entry declared the draw under the no program specified category with the 517 CRS cut-off.
Within just 10 days the province announced its draw with the range of 473-516 points.
Similarly, the last Healthcare occupations’ Express Entry draw was held on July 6, 2023, with a CRS cut-off of 463 points.
On that basis, this current draw has been held with the range of 350-462 CRS points.
The three draws are consecutively inviting the health occupation.
