Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) opened the doors to Canada for over a thousand hopeful immigrants through a new Express Entry draw. Conducted on July 16, 2024, the draw specifically targeted candidates in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
Key details from the draw:
- Number of ITAs issued: 1,391
- Program targeted: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) only
- Minimum CRS score: 670
This is the fifth Express Entry draw conducted in July, indicating an active immigration period. It’s also the second PNP-only draw this month, with the previous one held on July 2nd requiring a higher CRS score of 739.
This draw is a positive development for PNP candidates, especially those with CRS scores near 670. It signifies a continued focus on attracting skilled immigrants through provincial nominations.
The news comes as welcome relief for PNP candidates who may have seen their chances decrease in recent draws targeting candidates with high CRS scores in general or those with strong French language skills.
Is this your chance at Canadian permanent residency? If you have a PNP nomination and a CRS score above 670, check your Express Entry profile to see if you received an ITA. For guidance on the immigration process, consider consulting with an immigration specialist like CanApprove NOW!
