On August 18, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada (IRCC) conducted Express Entry Draw #361, inviting 192 candidates under
the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The minimum CRS score required for this
round was 800, reflecting the high thresholds typical of PNP-focused draws.
PNP draws continue to be a critical 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 programs, assess your eligibility, and guide you
through the full Express Entry process with confidence.
