681 PNP candidates invited Canada the biggest immigration country in the world welcomes many of the foreign nationals to work and settle along with PR. As a part of this Canada held 20 draws just for PNP candidates this year On October 13, Canada held third Express Entry draw for candidates who had provincial nominations to apply for permanent residence. In this draw, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued 681 invitations to candidates having at least 720. All the candidates invited have received an automatic 600 points by virtue of holding a nomination from a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Without the nomination, the lowest-scoring candidates would only have scores of 120. In the previous PNP draw, IRCC invited 761 candidates with scores of at least 742. This is the smallest draw compared to the previous draw and the score is very minimum 720 compared to previous draws.

This is the 20th PNP Express Entry draw in the year. The Express Entry broke its draw pattern on February 13. Later it did not hold another CEC draw for more than a month. It also held irregular CEC draws in April and May. Compared to last year, IRCC has issued double the number of Invitations to Apply (ITAs) in 2021. It aimed to invite 108,500 newcomers through the Express Entry system. Till date it invited 110,377 candidates to apply for permanent residence. The score requirements for each draw differ, and the requirements go up and down in CEC, and PNP only draws. The CEC draws have lower cutoffs compared to PNP draws. This is because CEC draws will concentrate only on one group of applicants. For instance, they will not compete with the people related to Federal Skilled Worker Program. The score will be down if the IRCC wants to invite more number of candidates. In addition, the PNP candidates will get extra 600 points with their provincial nomination, so the PNP scores will be high compared to any other scores in Express Entry draws.

What is Express Entry? Express Entry is the most popularly used program to migrate to Canada. It aims to manage skilled worker applications under Federal Economic programs which include: To skip this PNP process, the applicant directly applies through Express Entry Draw and receives a permanent residence invitation. However, if the applicant has the provincial nomination, they are guaranteed by IRCC  to receive an application to apply for Canadian permanent residence and are also awarded 600-points. After submitting the profile, the applicant will be ranked based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) by considering all the factors like:
  • Age
  • Work Experience
  • Education
  • Language Skills
  • Other Factors
The highest scoring applicants will receive ITAs (Invitations to Apply) for PR (permanent residence) in Canada through regular Express Entry draws.
