Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has conducted its latest Express Entry draw, issuing Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to 763 Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates.
Here are the full details of today's Express Entry draw:
- Program: Provincial Nominee Program
- Number of Invitations Issued: 763
- Rank Required to be Invited to Apply: 763 or above
- Date and Time of Round: August 13, 2024, at 14:57:21 UTC
- CRS Score of Lowest-Ranked Candidate Invited: 690
- Tie-Breaking Rule: April 26, 2024, at 10:59:30 UTC
To be eligible for this draw, candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 690. This is a slight increase from the previous PNP draw held on July 30, where the cut-off score was 686.
The PNP stream continues to be a popular pathway for immigration to Canada, with provinces and territories nominating skilled workers in occupations that align with their regional labor market needs. By obtaining a provincial nomination, candidates receive an additional 600 points towards their CRS score, significantly increasing their chances of receiving an ITA.
IRCC has been actively inviting Express Entry candidates throughout 2024, aiming to meet the country's labor market demands and economic growth objectives. Today's draw is part of the government's ongoing efforts to attract skilled foreign workers to contribute to Canada's prosperity.
