Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Canada holds Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw

A total of 1,548 candidates were extended invitations to apply for permanent residence, with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score cut-off set at 776 points. The elevated CRS score is due to the additional 600 points awarded to Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates because of their provincial nomination. This draw marks the first PNP invitation round since May of this year and stands as the largest one in 2023. Notably, this draw occurred just a week before Canada is scheduled to unveil its new Immigration Levels Plan for 2024-2026. For those who received invitations today, please be aware that it might take up to 24 hours for the Invitation to Apply (ITA) to reflect in your IRCC account.
