Express Entry: New PNP draw invites 589 candidates

On May 25, Canada sent a new round of invitations to 589 Express Entry candidates, encouraging them to apply for permanent residency.

To be admitted to this draw, you needed to have a minimum score of 741. Because the cutoff score was so high, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) only welcomed candidates who had already secured a provincial nomination. Express Entry candidates who have received a nomination from a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) will have 600 CRS points added to their base score.

This draw was slightly larger than the previous one and had a lower CRS cutoff. IRCC invited 545 PNP candidates with at least 753 in the last Express Entry lottery.
