News release

December 8, 2025—Toronto—In support of the Budget 2025 commitment to fill critical labour gaps with high-skilled talent, the Honourable Lena Metlege Diab, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, and Maggie Chi, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health, today announced new measures to support Canada’s health care system by making the path to permanent residence simpler for international doctors.

As part of these measures, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will create a new Express Entry category for international doctors with at least one year of Canadian work experience in an eligible occupation, gained within the last three years. These doctors are already working in Canada on a temporary basis, helping patients and contributing to our health care system. We’re giving these doctors a clear pathway to permanent residence in Canada to fill critical health workforce gaps, while helping support reliable care and a stable health system for Canadians. Invitations to apply for the new Express Entry category will be issued in early 2026.

Hello.

I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional territory of the Wendat, the Anishinaabeg, the Haudenosaunee and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

Thank you all for being here today. Thank you to the College of Carpenters and Allied Trades, for hosting us.

Immigration is fundamental to Canada’s prosperity. That’s why in the Fall, through the 2025 to 2027 Immigration Levels Plan, I laid out and announced a comprehensive approach to immigration planning that’s aimed at supporting responsible population growth while balancing the challenges facing many communities in Canada.
