Express Entry 2025 Draw
345 PNP Candidates Invited by IRCC for Canada PR

Canada Continues Welcoming Skilled Immigrants Under the Express Entry System

The latest Express Entry draw (2025) by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has once again opened exciting opportunities for skilled professionals aiming to migrate to Canada. In this round, 345 candidates received Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for Permanent Residency under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) stream.

To qualify for this draw, candidates required a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 778 and needed to have submitted their Express Entry profile before July 17, 2025 (7:58 p.m. UTC).

This draw showcases Canada’s continuous efforts to invite skilled workers who can contribute to the nation’s labour market and regional economic growth through federal and provincial immigration streams.

Understanding the Canada Express Entry and PNP System

The Express Entry system is one of Canada’s fastest and most efficient pathways to obtain Permanent Residency (PR). It manages applications across three main programs:

• Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

• Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

• Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

In addition, each province and territory (except Quebec) can nominate skilled professionals through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Receiving a provincial nomination adds 600 additional CRS points, dramatically increasing the applicant’s chances of receiving an ITA in the next Express Entry draw.

Provinces such as Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan continue to invite candidates with experience in high-demand occupations such as healthcare, IT, engineering, and construction — aligning their selection with local labour shortages.
