IRCC Issues 125 Invitations to PNP Candidates
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held the 350th Express Entry draw on June 10, 2025, issuing 125 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). This marks the third Express Entry round of the month and highlights IRCC’s continued focus on high-scoring provincial nominees.
Express Entry Draw #350 – Key Highlights
Candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 784 to receive an invitation. The high cut-off reflects the 600-point boost awarded to provincial nominees, underscoring the competitiveness of PNP-specific draws. This also indicates that without a provincial nomination, most candidates would require an exceptionally strong profile to stand a chance in these rounds.
A Busy Month for Express Entry
This latest PNP draw follows:
June 4: Healthcare and Social Services – 500 ITAs | CRS: 504
June 2: Provincial Nominee Program – 277 ITAs | CRS: 726
With three draws already in June, IRCC is maintaining momentum in 2025 by prioritizing targeted categories that address Canada's labour market gaps.
Total PNP invitations issued so far in 2025: 4,992
CRS range: 667 – 802
