Key details from Express Entry draw 383
- Program: PNP (Provincial Nominee Program)
- Invitations issued: 1,123
- Minimum CRS score: 729
- Draw type: PNP-only
- Tie-breaking rule: March 5, 2025, at 05:10:48 UTC
Because a provincial nomination adds 600 CRS points, PNP draws almost always see cut-offs well above 700. A cut-off of 729 suggests most candidates likely had a base CRS score in the 120–140 range before receiving their nomination.
Why This Draw Matters
Today’s draw is the 53rd Express Entry round of the year and the 23rd dedicated to the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Throughout 2025, PNP draws have shown wide variation, with the lowest CRS cut-off at 493 and the highest reaching 855.
Invitation numbers have also fluctuated significantly. The smallest PNP draw this year issued 125 invitations, while today’s draw set a new record with 1,123 ITAs, making it the largest PNP-only round of 2025.
The draw also comes as Canada works toward its 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan, where PNPs hold one of the largest allocations of permanent resident admissions.
The Road Ahead
The results of express entry draw 383 show that PNP candidates will continue to play a key role in shaping Canada’s workforce. As provinces compete for talent and IRCC maintains its focus on regional immigration, more PNP-driven Express Entry rounds are expected in the coming months.
