Last 5 Express Entry Draws

A provincial nomination significantly boosts a candidate's CRS score by an additional 600 points, making it one of the most effective pathways to receiving an Express Entry ITA. This continues to be a strategic route for many applicants with ties to a specific province, in-demand work experience, or a valid job offer.

While this draw demonstrates a continued focus on PNP candidates, IRCC also maintains a dynamic strategy, regularly inviting candidates from other categories such as the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and French-language proficiency, aligning with Canada's 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan.

Candidates in the Express Entry pool are encouraged to keep their profiles updated and explore provincial nomination opportunities to maximize their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply for permanent residency in Canada.
