Educators and skilled professionals in education occupations are celebrating fresh invitations for Canadian permanent residence under the Express Entry system.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has conducted a new category-based draw targeting education occupations, reaffirming Canada’s commitment to attracting qualified teachers and education specialists to meet workforce demands across the country.
Express Entry Draw Results – September 17, 2025
- Category: Education Occupations
- Number of Invitations Issued: 2,500
- Minimum CRS Score: 462
- Tie-breaking Rule: July 09, 2025 at 04:24:19 UTC
- Eligible NOC Codes: 42202, 43100, 41221, 42203, 41220
Candidates who received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) now have 60 days to submit their complete permanent residence application through the official Canada.ca portal. When multiple candidates had the minimum CRS of 462, the tie-break was determined by the date and time their Express Entry profiles were submitted.
Why This Education-Focused Draw Matters
Canada’s education system relies on highly trained professionals—from early-childhood educators to secondary-school teachers and post-secondary instructors. By targeting these education occupations, IRCC ensures that newcomers bring essential skills to classrooms nationwide.
Category-based draws like this one help address specific labor shortages, creating a clear pathway for education professionals to achieve permanent residency and contribute to Canada’s long-term educational development.
