On July 16, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada (IRCC) conducted Express Entry Draw #303, inviting 1,391 candidates under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The minimum CRS score required for
this round was 670, reflecting the significant boost that a provincial
nomination provides to an applicant’s Express Entry profile.
PNP-focused draws allow provinces and territories to select
skilled workers who can meet local labour market needs. Because candidates with
a provincial nomination automatically receive an additional 600 CRS points, the
cut-off scores for PNP draws are generally higher than general or
category-based rounds.
For applicants seeking permanent residency, securing a
provincial nomination remains one of the most effective ways to increase CRS
scores and improve the likelihood of receiving an Invitation to Apply.

explore provincial nomination programs, determine your eligibility, and guide
you through the Express Entry process with confidence.
