<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) only invited Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates in this draw.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score needed to get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the latest Express Entry draw was 674.<\/p>\n
IRCC uses the Express Entry system to manage applications for those seeking permanent residence (PR) through Canada\u2019s three main economic-class programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC) and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).<\/p>\n
When travel restrictions were introduced at the onset of the COVID-19, Canada moved away from all program draws and started holding mostly\u00a0program-specific draws, alternating between PNP and CEC-specific draws. However, since mid-September 2021, Express Entry\u00a0invitations rounds have been focused on PNP candidates only.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although the Canadian government has not yet indicated when it intends resuming draws for CEC or FSWP, FSTP candidates, it has nonetheless affirmed its commitment to continuing to hold PNP-specific express entry draws.<\/p>\n
Candidates start by\u00a0creating an Express Entry profile after which they are given a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. This score is based on age, education, work experience, language proficiency as well as other human capital factors.\u00a0CRS points can be given to one person or to a couple if they are applying together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
PNPs\u00a0are operated by\u00a0the provinces and territories themselves and allow them\u00a0to nominate candidates who have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to their\u00a0local economies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Each province and territory tailors their PNP\u00a0“streams” to the current needs on their territory. Provinces like\u00a0Alberta, British Columbia,\u00a0Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario,\u00a0Prince Edward\u00a0and\u00a0 Saskatchewan\u00a0have streams that\u00a0are aligned with the federal Express Entry system. This means that the province can search the Express Entry pool for candidates who meet a set of specific criteria and who have declared their interest in settling on its territory.<\/p>\n
Candidates who receive a provincial nomination from a province\u00a0automatically earn an additional 600 CRS score points.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The highest-ranking candidates in the Express Entry pool are then invited to apply for permanent residence in Express Entry draws.<\/p>\n
Once a candidate receives an invitation to apply for permanent residence (PR), they must submit their application to IRCC, which will then make a final decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n
