Canada PNP Draw: 291 Invitations Issued, CRS Cut-Off 855

On September 29, 2025, Canada held a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw and invited 291 candidates to apply for permanent residence. The lowest CRS score in this round was 855, showing how competitive the process can be.

The PNP draw works within Canada’s Express Entry system. It lets provinces and territories nominate candidates to meet their local labor needs. When candidates receive a PNP nomination, they gain 600 extra CRS points, which greatly boosts their chance of getting an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

This draw demonstrates Canada’s commitment to attracting skilled immigrants who can contribute to the economy and fill labor gaps. Therefore, candidates with high CRS scores should explore provincial nominations to increase their chances of obtaining permanent residency.

Key Highlights:

  • Draw type: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
