PNP-Specific Express Entry Draws: Increasing Opportunities for Provincial Nominees
Why This is Important:
PNP draws are frequent and significant – The latest draw exclusively invited PNP candidates, showing Canada's focus on provincial immigration.
Higher CRS Score Requirements – PNP nominees need higher CRS scores but receive an automatic 600-point boost, making them strong candidates.
Provincial Nominations as a Key Pathway – Many applicants are securing PR through PNPs rather than general Express Entry draws.
Upcoming Draw Predictions – Future Express Entry draws may continue prioritizing PNP candidates, making it essential for applicants to consider this pathway.
