Steady Focus on Provincial Nominees

PNP-specific draws remain a core part of Canada’s immigration strategy in 2025, as the country seeks to strengthen regional economies and address specific labour shortages across provinces. Including this latest draw, IRCC has now held 11 PNP draws this year, issuing thousands of ITAs to skilled workers nominated by individual provinces.

This draw comes shortly after two smaller PNP-specific draws earlier in the month—125 invitations on June 10 and 277 on June 2—demonstrating IRCC’s commitment to maintaining steady intake through these regional nomination pathways.

Important Notes for ITA Recipients

Candidates who receive an ITA must submit a complete and truthful application for permanent residence. Failure to provide accurate information can lead to serious consequences, including a 5-years ban from re-entering the Express Entry pool due to misrepresentation.

Applicants are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all submitted documents and details, and even unintentional errors can be considered misrepresentation. Candidates must double-check their applications and seek professional help if unsure.

Looking Ahead

With over 38,000 invitations already issued in 2025, the Express Entry system remains a vital channel for skilled workers looking to immigrate to Canada. The consistent flow of PNP draws also signals strong cooperation between federal and provincial governments to fill gaps in Canada's workforce through regional immigration strategies.

IRCC is expected to continue this multi-stream approach in the coming months, with more draws likely across PNP, CEC, and category-based selections such as healthcare and French language proficiency.
