Focus on Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) Candidates
This recent Express Entry draw was only for individuals nominated under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The PNP enables Canadian provinces and territories to pick persons from a pool of applicants who want to come and settle in a certain region.
In this draw, 356 Invitations to Apply (ITA) were granted to PNP applicants who scored at least 750 on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
Comparison to Previous PNP-Specific Draws
In the last PNP-specific Express Entry Draw #352, 503 ITAs were awarded to PNP candidates with a minimum CRS score of 742. In comparison to the previous round, fewer applicants received ITAs, and the CRS score criterion was also raised.
Understanding The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is an important gateway for those wanting to come to Canada. It allows provinces and territories to propose individuals who want to settle in a certain location. Each province and territory has its own PNP streams designed for certain populations, such as skilled workers, overseas graduates, and entrepreneurs.
To start the PNP procedure, choose the province or territory where you intend to live and apply directly to that program. After getting a nomination, you can apply for permanent residency with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
