On July 21, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada (IRCC) conducted Express Entry Draw #356, inviting 202 candidates under
the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The minimum CRS score required for this
round was 788, reflecting the continued high thresholds typical of PNP-focused
draws.
PNP draws remain a vital pathway for Canadian immigration,
allowing provinces and territories to nominate skilled workers who meet local
labour market needs. With the additional 600 CRS points awarded through a
provincial nomination, candidates in these draws consistently rank among the
top profiles in the Express Entry pool.
For applicants seeking permanent residency, securing a
provincial nomination remains one of the most effective ways to improve CRS
scores and enhance selection chances.
A&M Canadian Immigration Law Corporation can help you
explore provincial nominee options, assess your eligibility, and guide you
through the full Express Entry process with confidence.
