Spotlight on Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) Candidates

This Express Entry draw was specifically for candidates nominated through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The PNP allows provinces and territories to select individuals from a pool of candidates who wish to immigrate to Canada and settle in a particular region.

In this draw, 646 Invitations to Apply (ITA) were extended to PNP candidates, with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 750.

Comparison with Previous PNP-Specific Draw

The previous PNP-specific Express Entry Draw #334, issued 455 ITAs to PNP candidates with a minimum CRS score of 802. Not only did more PNP candidates receive ITAs this round, but the CRS score also decreased from the previous round which gave more candidates a better chance at receiving an ITA this draw.

Understanding the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is an important immigration stream for those who wish to live in Canada. The PNP program allows provinces and territories to nominate individuals who want to live in a specific area. Each province and territory offers its own PNP streams, designed for different groups such as skilled workers, students, and entrepreneurs.

To get started with a PNP application, choose the province or territory where you’d like to settle and apply directly to their PNP. Once you receive a nomination from that province, you can then apply for permanent residency through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Number of Candidates in the Current Express Entry Pool

The IRCC updates the number of people in the Express Entry pool a few days before an invitation round takes place. Numbers change as new profiles are submitted, profiles expire or are issued an ITA.
