Express Entry draw on April 28, 2025: 421 invitations via the Provincial Nominee Program
On April 28, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held a new round of invitations for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) via the Express Entry system. This targeted draw demonstrates once again the strategic importance of provincial nominations for candidates seeking permanent residency in Canada.
Drawing details: high threshold and strategic profiles
In this draw :
- Number of invitations sent out: 421
- Minimum score required (SCG): 727
- Tie-breaking rule: Profiles submitted before September 9, 2024 at 17:11:19 UTC
The high minimum score is explained by the nature of the draw: only candidates who received a provincial nomination - which adds 600 points to their score - were considered. Thus, candidates with a base score of around 127 were able to receive an invitation.
