Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted its most recent Express Entry draw on July 2nd, issuing 920 invitations to apply (ITAs) to candidates in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). A minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 739 was required for consideration.
This draw followed a series of program-specific draws in the preceding month. Most recently, on June 19th, IRCC invited 1,499 candidates in a PNP-only draw with a minimum CRS score of 663. The first PNP-only draw since May 10th, 2023, occurred on May 30th and invited 2,985 Express Entry candidates. Another draw on May 31st invited 3,000 candidates from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
Program-specific draws, including PNP-only draws, target candidates in the Express Entry pool who have applied through specific programs such as the CEC, the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), or the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). In the case of a PNP-only draw, candidates must have received an enhanced nomination through an Express Entry-aligned Provincial Nominee Program stream.
This type of draw had not occurred since the introduction of category-based selection draws in May 2023. However, since January, IRCC has been focusing on stabilizing the high number of temporary residents in Canada. One strategy is to offer more pathways to permanent residency for temporary residents, including those on work or study permits or visitor visas.
Many temporary residents in Canada have applied for permanent residency through the CEC or PNP. This approach allows IRCC to achieve its annual target for "Federal High Skilled Workers" outlined in the Immigration Levels Plan while also reducing the number of temporary residents in Canada.
