A provincial nomination from any Canadian province was a mandatory requirement for securing an invitation. Also, candidates with a Comprehensive Ranking System score of 713 or higher have received invitations by IRCC. Express Entry candidates with a CRS score lower than 713 did not qualify to get an invitation.
The CRS score has gone down by 39 points in this PNP-specific draw as compared to the previous draw. The number of invitations issued has also dropped by 57.
PNP candidates who qualified for the minimum CRS score requirement and who submitted their profiles before 6th April 2021 at 09:50:14 UTC received an invite from IRCC.
