Canada held a new round of invitations on May 25, inviting 589 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence.
The minimum score required to be invited in this draw was 741. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) only invited candidates who had previously received a provincial nomination, which is why the cutoff score was so high. Express Entry candidates who hold a nomination from a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) automatically get 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points added to their base score.
This draw was slightly larger and had a lower CRS cutoff than the last. In the previous Express Entry draw, IRCC invited 545 PNP candidates with scores of at least 753.
