Key Highlights of Express Entry Draw 350

Date of Draw – June 10, 2025
Draw Type – Provincial Nominee Program
Number of ITAs Issued – 125
Minimum CRS Score – 784
Tie-Breaking Date – September 12, 2024

The tie-breaking rule of this latest PNP draw was set for September 12, 2024, at 18:12:15 UTC. This draw marks only the second smallest PNP-specific Express Entry draw on record for 2025, pointing toward a continued reduction in PNP allocations this year. With just 4,992 PNP ITAs issued so far in 2025, provinces are clearly grappling with tighter federal nomination quotas.

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows provinces to nominate candidates based on regional labor market needs. When linked with Express Entry, a provincial nomination boosts a candidate’s CRS score by 600 points, virtually guaranteeing an ITA in the next applicable draw.
