Express Entry Draw: 919 New PNP Candidates Invited

On March 30, Canada invited 919 Express Entry candidates in its latest PNP-only Express Entry draw of the year.

IRCC issued applications for Provincial Nominee Program candidates only. It invited candidates with a CRS score of 785. All the candidates who had applied received an automatic 600 points by holding a nomination from PNP. The lowest-scoring candidates without the nomination would have needed just 185 base CRS points.

Invited candidates have 60 calendar days to apply for the nomination.

What is Express Entry?

The Express Entry Program is not a visa in itself. Rather, it is an application management system that manages applications for the economic immigration programs of Canada. These are:

  1. FSWP (Federal Skilled Worker Program)
  2. FSTP (Federal Skilled Trades Program)
  3. CEC (Canadian Experience Class)

The program was first introduced in January 2015. To apply, you must first and foremost be eligible for one of the programs above.
