IRCC Opens First Express Entry Draw of 2025 – PNP Candidates Invited

The Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) launched its first Express Entry draw of the year on January 7, 2025, focusing exclusively on Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates.

Draw Highlights:

Draw Number: 331

Date: January 7, 2025

Total Invitations Issued: 471

Category: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Cut-off: 791

Key Details:

This draw targeted candidates who had already secured a provincial nomination through one of Canada’s PNPs. The provincial nomination provided an additional 600 points to their CRS scores, significantly increasing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.

Next Steps for Invited Candidates:

Submission of ITA: Candidates must submit their complete permanent residency applications within 60 days of receiving the ITA.

Processing Times: While IRCC aims to process most Express Entry applications within six months, processing times may vary depending on individual applications.
