Canada Opens Express Entry Draw for PNP Candidates, Inviting 1,499 Applicants

The PNP is a crucial component of Canada's immigration strategy, allowing provinces and territories to nominate individuals who meet their specific economic and demographic needs. By participating in a PNP and receiving a nomination, candidates not only increase their CRS score but also gain an accelerated pathway to permanent residence in Canada.

On June 19, 2024, Canada conducted a significant Express Entry draw specifically targeting candidates under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). This draw marked a notable opportunity for skilled workers and international graduates who have received provincial nominations to apply for permanent residence in Canada.
