Provincial Nominees Invited
In the 151st Express Entry draw, the IRCC limited the draw to invite only candidates who have already received a nomination through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
This draw saw 341 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) issued to PNP candidates with a CRS score of 743 points or higher. The CRS cut-off score has dropped 14 points since the last PNP-specific draw.
Each province, with the exception of Quebec, operates several PNP streams. These streams are designed by the provinces to help meet their unique immigration goals, so the eligibility criteria and application procedures vary. However, PNPs are a popular option because they can be the fastest pathway to Canadian permanent residence.
In spite of the continued uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, we are glad to see that the Canadian government is still holding Express Entry draws. Immigration plays an important role in Canada, and we hope to see these numbers continue to climb in the coming months.
