Express Entry via the PNP

Provinces and Territories (PTs) in Canada that operate a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) can nominate candidates through the Express Entry pool. Candidates with a PT nomination receive an additional 600 points towards their CRS score – which usually guarantees an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canada PR.

PTs have direct access to the Express Entry pool through a dedicated pool which allows them to view and nominate candidates in the pool. The process to apply for Canada PR through a PNP can be carried out in three easy steps.

STEP 1: Check your eligibility and make sure you qualify for the PNP where you want to live.
STEP 2: Contact the province or territory and apply for a provincial nomination.
STEP 3: If you are nominated in an Express Entry draw, apply for Canada PR with the federal government.

Express Entry draws are generally conducted every two weeks, typically on a Wednesday. The number of ITAs, minimum CRS score, and draw-type are determined by the IRCC. This varies depending on factors including, the Canadian economy, labour market, and the immigration targets set in the Canada Immigration Level Plans 2024-2026.
