Great news for all aspiring immigrants! Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has just issued more Invitations to Apply (ITA) through the Express Entry system, making it an exciting time to be considering your future in Canada.

Recently, in a draw specifically for Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates, 249 ITAs were handed out! To have been eligible, candidates needed to meet a few requirements, including a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 772 and creating their Express Entry profiles before 7:19 p.m. UTC on August 28, 2025.

A little bit more about this year’s draws: out of a total of 56,069 ITAs issued so far in 2025, PNP draws have dominated the spotlight. So, if you're interested in this pathway, it’s a good time to get your application ready!
