Number of ITAs goes up in new Express Entry draw targeting PNP candidates

Canada’s newest Express Entry draw, on August 4, targeted candidates who had previously received provincial nominations.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited 512 candidates with scores of at least 760. The relatively high score was because Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates automatically get 600 points when they receive their provincial nomination.

In the previous PNP invitation round, 462 Express Entry candidates were invited to apply for permanent residence with scores of at least 734.

IRCC also published a cutoff time for the tie-break rule. This is an administrative requirement, and it does not mean there was any actual tie. Candidates who had the minimum score were only invited if they submitted their Express Entry


Why a PNP-only draw

Since the start of 2021, IRCC has been holding only PNP- and Canadian Experience Class (CEC)- specific Express Entry draws. This has been an effort on IRCC’s part to admit candidates who are already in Canada.

Although PNP candidates are not necessarily in Canada, at least not in the numbers as CEC candidates, it only makes sense for the federal government to keep working with its provincial partners. In Canada, immigration is a shared jurisdiction. Numerous studies have shown immigrants succeed when they are selected on local labour market needs. Both PNP and CEC candidates have shown to have better outcomes in the labour market, on average, than candidates who have never set foot in Canada before getting permanent residency.

Travel restrictions are also less of a concern for outland PNP applicants. This is because Canada opened its border to approved permanent residents on June 21. Also, those invited today could have months ahead of them before they receive their Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR), which is the final document needed to before becoming a landed permanent resident in Canada.

Express Entry invitations ahead of 2019 levels

The number of Invitations to Apply (ITAs) has almost doubled compared to the same time last year. This suggests that IRCC is doubling down on its efforts to admit 108,500 newcomers through the Express Entry system in 2021. So far this year, 99,316 PNP and CEC candidates have been invited.

The minimum score requirements have been up and down due to the nature of CEC- and PNP-only draws. CEC draws typically have lower cutoffs because the draws are concentrated in the one silo of applicants. They are not competing with others in the Federal Skilled Worker Program, for example. So, with bigger draw sizes, IRCC can invite more candidates, thus bringing the score down.

On the other hand, PNP candidates automatically get 600 points with their provincial nomination. By this fact alone, PNP draws will always be higher than any other type of Express Entry draw.

How American residents can work in Canada

  Most U.S. citizens require a work permit to work in Canada . There are two types of work permits in Canada. The first category includes Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs). The federal government of Canada uses the LMIA to determine how hiring foreign workers affects the wages and employment of Canadian workers. Some job offers require an LMIA, so employers in Canada must apply to the federal government for and obtain a positive or neutral LMIA before hiring foreign workers. The second category does not require an LMIA. Due to Canada's economic and social interests, this category does not require an LMIA. For example, U.S. citizens may be eligible for LMIA-exempt work authorization under the United States-Canada-Mexico Agreement (USMCA). U.S. citizens can work in Canada under NAFTA if they have a vacancy with a current or new employer, or if they wish to make a significant investment or trade in Canada. The type of work permit you need depends on the type of work you w
