What happened?
IRCC held a category-based Express Entry round for healthcare and social services occupations on September 4, 2026.
What changed?
- Round 441 issued 3,500 invitations, with a lowest invited CRS score of 475.
- For candidates tied at 475, the profile-submission cutoff was May 26, 2026 at 00:26:14 UTC.
Who is affected?
- Express Entry candidates who meet the healthcare and social services category requirements specified for this round.
- Candidates comparing their profile with this particular invitation round.
What this means for you
- A CRS score of 475 alone does not establish that you received an invitation. Express Entry eligibility, category requirements and the tie-breaking rule also matter.
- This category-based result is not a general draw cutoff or a prediction of future draws. An invitation is not permanent-residence approval.
What should you do next?
- 1Check your IRCC account for an invitation and follow its submission deadline.
- 2Review the round-specific instructions and verify that your profile and supporting documents are accurate.
- 3If not invited, keep your profile current and follow future official rounds.
