This was the 20th PNP-specific draw of 2025 and could be the final one before the release of Canada’s 2026 Immigration Levels Plan on November 4, 2025. So far, 7,885 PNP candidates have received invitations through Express Entry this year.
IRCC is expected to maintain a steady pace of category-based and PNP-focused draws through the remainder of 2025, ahead of the release of Canada’s 2026 Immigration Levels Plan.
Experts predict upcoming draws will continue emphasizing STEM, healthcare, and French-language proficiency — sectors central to Canada’s economic and demographic goals.
For Express Entry candidates, this draw reinforces the significant advantage of obtaining a provincial nomination. With the additional 600 CRS points, a nomination virtually ensures an invitation in upcoming rounds.
Applicants are encouraged to explore active PNP streams such as:
- Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
- British Columbia PNP (BCPNP)
- Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)
These programs frequently target skilled workers, healthcare professionals, and tech talent making them strong pathways to Canadian permanent residency.
