Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has conducted a new Express Entry draw. This was the first invitation round conducted by the department in June.
If the latest Express Entry draw invites you, you will have 60 days. You need to submit a complete application for a PR Visa to the IRCC. Your Invitation to Apply (ITA) will not be valid if this timeframe passes.
The latest Express Entry draw was held on June 2, 2025. The IRCC issued ITAs to 277 candidates in a PNP-specific draw. Invited candidates required a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 726 to be eligible for an invitation.
Draw No: 348
Type of Draw: Provincial Nominee Program
If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the cut-off will depend on when they submitted their Express Entry profiles.
This round of invitations may issue invitations to apply to the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
