Canada has sent invitations to foreigners to apply for permanent residency in the country.
The most recent Express Entry draw results under the Provincial Nominee Program have been announced by the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada.
On June 02, 2025, 277 Express Entry invitations were issued to eligible foreign nationals, with the lowest-ranked candidate receiving a CRS score of 726.
The date and time of the selection round was June 02, 2025, at 17:04:42 UTC, while the Tie-breaking rule date was September 24, 2024, at 15:46:19 UTC.
This means the Rank required to be invited to apply will be 277 or above.
If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the cut-off is based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.
The previous draw under the Provincial Nominee Program was conducted on May 12, 2025, when 511 Express Entry invitations were issued to eligible foreign nationals ranked among the first, with the lowest-ranked candidate receiving a CRS score of 706.
The Canadian federal administration employs the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to sort applicants according to elements such as age, educational background, employment history, and proficiency in languages, adjusting the threshold for each Express Entry draw.
Canada removed ‘job offer points’ from the Express Entry pool’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) on March 25, 2025.
Both present and potential applicants will be affected by this. Only those categories that fall under Major Group 00 of the National Occupation Classification (such as senior management positions) (200 points) and any other skilled occupation (50 points) will be affected by the removal of “job offer points” from the Comprehensive Ranking System.
Candidates with qualifying job offers in their Express Entry profiles will lose their previously associated CRS points.
In contrast, those with a current job offer will no longer have the opportunity to earn extra points after March 25, 2025.
Foreigners who want to live in Canada can apply for Canadian Permanent Resident status through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). This program allows people to live, reside, and work in a certain province or region. A permanent resident (PR) is someone who has been given PR status by immigrating to Canada, but is not a Canadian citizen. PRs are usually citizens of other countries, while some may be stateless persons.
The Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) in Canada allow provinces and territories to select immigrants for permanent residency.
There are several different PNP streams in Canada. PNPs select candidates based on criteria such as having a job offer in the province, working in an in-demand occupation, having previous work or study experience in the province, or having the resources to start a business in the province.
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is created for employees possessing the required abilities, education, and employment background to enhance the economy of a particular province or territory and to settle permanently in Canada.
Every province and territory has its unique immigration schemes aimed at particular categories, including students, entrepreneurs, skilled employees, or workers with some skills.
To obtain a Canada PR via PNP, follow these steps: determine eligibility and requirements for available PNPs, complete the application process, submit it to the territory or province, and receive an official Provincial Nomination certificate if eligible, allowing you to proceed to the next step.
Canada Express Entry is a program for skilled immigrants seeking permanent residency in Canada, managed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) under various programs such as the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Provincial Nominee Program.
