Provincial Nominees Invited
Following the 2021 trend, in the 182nd 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 266 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) issued to PNP candidates with a CRS score of 753 points or higher.
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.
To date, over 2,600 PNP applicants have been selected from the Express Entry pool in 2021.
