Express Entry Update: Latest PNP Draw Invites 1,123 Candidates With CRS 729

Canada has released its latest Express Entry update under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), inviting 1,123 candidates to apply for permanent residence. The draw took place on December 8, 2025, and required a minimum CRS score of 729.

Key Details of the Draw

  • Draw Name: Provincial Nominee Program
  • Date & Time: December 8, 2025
  • Minimum CRS Score: 729
  • Invitations Issued: 1,123
  • Rank Required: 1,123 or above
  • Tie-Breaking Rule: March 05, 2025 at 05:10:48

Check Your Skilled Assessment & Eligibility

The tie-breaking rule means that if multiple candidates had the minimum score of 729, those who submitted their Express Entry profiles before March 05, 2025 at 05:10:48 received invitations in this round.

What This Means for Applicants

PNP draws continue to play a major role in helping skilled workers secure permanent residency by offering higher CRS boosts through provincial nominations. A CRS cut-off of 729 shows that nominated candidates remain highly competitive in the pool.

If you hold a provincial nomination or plan to apply for one, keeping your Express Entry profile updated and accurate is more important than ever.
