In a positive development for immigration hopefuls, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued 964 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) in its latest Express Entry Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw. Candidates who secured a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 686 were eligible to receive ITAs in this draw held on July 30, 2024.
This latest round of invitations marks a continued focus on attracting skilled workers through provincial nomination programs. The PNP pathway allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate foreign workers who meet their specific labor market needs. Successful nominees receive additional 600 CRS points, significantly enhancing their chances of securing a permanent residency invitation.
The consistent issuance of ITAs reflects Canada’s ongoing commitment to immigration as a key driver of economic growth. With a minimum CRS score of 686, this draw indicates a competitive landscape for potential immigrants. However, it also highlights the importance of careful profile management and strategic planning for those aiming to secure an ITA.
For candidates who have received ITAs, the next step is to submit a complete application for permanent residence within the stipulated time frame. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to build a new life in Canada and contribute to the country’s economic and social fabric.
