Express Entry: New PNP draw invites 266 candidates


 Express Entry: New PNP draw invites 266 candidates

The CRS requirement in the new invitation round was 25 points lower than the previous PNP-only draw.

Canada invited 266 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence on April 2021.

In order to be invited in this draw, candidates needed a score of 753. This minimum score requirement may seem high compared to the average all-program, or Canadian Experience Class-only draw, but that is because invited candidates needed to have previously received a nomination from a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). 

PNP candidates automatically get 600 points just for receiving the provincial nomination. Without the nomination, the lowest-scoring candidate would have 153 points.

Candidates who had the minimum score of 753 were only invited if they submitted their Express Entry profile before March 01, 2021 at 15:22:18 UTC, as per the tie-break rule. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) publishes the cut-off time for the tie-break rule as an administrative requirement, regardless of whether there was an actual tie.

 Manitoba, BC, and PEI release immigration draw results  ||  Oris Visas  Here is a look at Canada's provincial immigration draws for the week of April 18.   This past week, three Canadian provinces released their  Provincial Nominee Program  (PNP) draw results. Most Canadian provinces and territories (except  Quebec  and Nunavut) operate their own PNPs. Through these programs, interested candidates may be invited to apply for a provincial nomination. Although provincial nomination is not in itself the same as a permanent residence, it can significantly increase the chances of obtaining permanent resident status. For instance, PNP candidates with  Express Entry profiles  who receive a nomination get 600 points added to their score. They also become eligible to be invited to apply for a PNP-specific round of invitations.
