The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted Express Entry Draw 372 on October 14, 2025, marking its third draw of the month and inviting 345 candidates through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

This draw reflects Canada’s ongoing commitment to addressing regional labour shortages by giving priority to candidates with provincial nominations, individuals already identified by provinces as essential contributors to their economies.
