This is part of Canada’s ongoing efforts to address regional labor market needs by welcoming skilled immigrants who are nominated by provinces and territories based on local economic priorities.

Key Details of the Draw:

  • Date of Draw: June 3, 2025
  • Number of ITAs Issued: 277
  • CRS Cut-off Score: 726
  • Program Targeted: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Candidates who received invitations in this round now have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence to IRCC.

This draw demonstrates Canada’s continued commitment to welcoming highly skilled immigrants through its Express Entry system and strong partnerships with provinces and territories across the country.

What is the Express Entry System?

The Express Entry system is Canada’s flagship application management system for three economic immigration programs:

  • Federal Skilled Worker Program
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program
  • Canadian Experience Class

Candidates in the Express Entry pool are ranked based on factors such as age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and adaptability. Those with the highest scores receive Invitations to Apply in regular draws conducted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

The Provincial Nominee Program is designed to allow Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada and are interested in settling in a particular province. A provincial nomination is a major advantage for Express Entry candidates, boosting their CRS score by 600 points.
