Express Entry Draw #342 – April 14, 2025
On April 14, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held its 6th Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw of 2025. In the most recent draw, 825 invitations to apply (ITAs) were issued to candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 764 or higher. IRCC has now invited 27,418 Express Entry candidates in 2025.
The Provincial Nominee Program aligns with the federal Express Entry system. Candidates who receive a provincial nomination automatically obtain an additional 600 CRS points. The program is designed for workers who have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory. Each province and territory have their own “streams” which may vary depending on the province’s needs.
IRCC applied its tie-breaking rule with the timestamp of August 17, 2024 at 18:35:52 UTC, meaning candidates with a score of 764 were invited to apply if they had submitted their Express Entry profile before the timestamp.
