📢 New Express Entry draw update!

Canada has issued 995 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates in the first Express Entry draw since May. 🇨🇦

Candidates invited in this round required a minimum CRS score of 730, reflecting the additional 600 points awarded through a provincial nomination. For many applicants, a PNP nomination remains one of the strongest pathways to permanent residence.

As provinces continue to target skilled workers to address labour market needs, this draw highlights the important role provincial immigration programs play in Canada's immigration system.
