Express Entry’s PNP Draws

The Express Entry Program’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws are a key part of Canada’s immigration system. They allow provinces and territories to select candidates from the federal Express Entry pool who meet specific labour market needs. These draws are designed to help provinces attract skilled workers who can fill gaps in their workforce and contribute to the local economy.

Each province has its own criteria for selecting candidates based on its unique economic and demographic needs. When a candidate is nominated by a province, they receive additional points in their Express Entry profile - significantly increasing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.

The process typically starts with a candidate expressing interest in a specific province. If the province identifies a match, they issue a nomination. This nomination boosts the candidate’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score by 600 points, making it more likely that they will be invited to apply for permanent residency during the upcoming Express Entry draw.
