New Express Entry Draw for PNP Candidates

The IRCC has invited 183 express entry candidates in the new PNP-specific Express Entry Draw. The previous express entry draw also targeted PNP candidates. So, this is one of the rare chances in the Canadian immigration system that a second consecutive PNP-specific draw is conducted.  Date of draw: 17th March No. of invitations:183 The program involved: Express Entry-PNP Minimum CRS score required: 682 Tie-break date and time: 4th March 2021 at 16:56:20 UTC As of today, the IRCC has already invited 38,840 candidates to apply for a Permanent Residence in Canada. If we compare immigration numbers of 2020 the numbers this year are at least three times higher. 

Canada Express Entry

The Express Entry allows new immigrants to apply for Canadian permanent residence through the following three economy class programs:

• Federal Skilled Trades

• Federal Skilled Worker

• Canadian Experience Class

An eligible candidate can create his or her profile and submit it to the IRCC’s Express Entry portal. Once a profile is submitted, the candidate is given a Comprehensive Ranking System score. The CRS score is the deciding factor for securing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Permanent Residence. This score depends on human capital factors such as age, education qualification, language skills, and work experience. Find out if you are eligible for any Canadian immigration programs
