On May 1, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
(IRCC) held Express Entry Draw #344, issuing 1,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) under the education occupations category. The minimum CRS score required for
this draw was 479, marking the first education category-based draw and
highlighting its priority status within Canada’s Express Entry system for 2025.
Education category-based draws target professionals such as
teachers, early childhood educators, and other education-related roles that are
in high demand across Canada. A CRS cut-off of 479 demonstrates Canada’s focus
on attracting qualified education professionals to support its growing
workforce needs.
For candidates with experience in education occupations,
category-based draws provide a targeted and strategic pathway to Canadian
permanent residency.
A&M Canadian Immigration Law Corporation can help
education professionals assess their eligibility, strengthen their CRS
profiles, and navigate the Express Entry process with confidence.
