Express Entry - PNP Draws

Express Entry's Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws allow Canadian provinces and territories to select skilled workers from the federal Express Entry pool. Each province can choose candidates who meet specific regional labour needs. By receiving a provincial nomination, candidates get 600 additional points in their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, boosting their chances of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residency.

PNP draws happen when provinces invite candidates through one of their immigration streams connected to the Express Entry Program. These draws target workers in certain occupations or with particular skills the province needs. For example, some provinces may focus on healthcare, technology, or trade.

After receiving an invitation from a province, candidates must apply for a provincial nomination. Once approved, their profile gets updated with the extra points, increasing their chances of being selected in the next federal Express Entry draw.

PNP draws are important because they allow provinces to address specific economic needs and help immigrants settle where their skills are most required. It also gives more opportunities to those who might not have enough points on their own to qualify for Express Entry directly.

Currently, 80% of applications under the Express Entry pool are being processed within 6-8 months.
