Summary
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 277 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) through an Express Entry draw for Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates on June 3, 2025. Candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 726 and to have submitted their profiles before September 24, 2024.

So far in 2025, IRCC has issued a total of 34,717 ITAs through various Express Entry draws. Most of these have targeted PNP candidates, followed by Canadian Experience Class (CEC) applicants, French-speaking candidates, and those in priority occupations such as education and healthcare.

The CRS is a points-based system designed to select skilled workers most likely to succeed in the Canadian labor market. Research shows that immigrants selected via CRS tend to have high employment rates, strong earnings, and low unemployment, demonstrating the system’s effectiveness since its implementation in 2015.
