A total of 687 candidates received invitations to apply for permanent residency in Canada. The successful candidates had to score a minimum of 720 under CRS (comprehensive ranking system. The tie-breaking rule came into existence on March 16, 2021, at 07:53:28 UTC.
Since provincial nominee candidates get extra 600 marks for a provincial nomination, so the successful candidates had to score only 120 scores. This draw has less score than of last 2 PNP draws. The draw issuance date was 13 October 2021. The invited candidates have only had now 60 days to apply for permanent residency. The new draw makes it 110,377, the number of candidates who have got an invitation to apply for PR in 2021.

Why does Canada need more foreign workers?
Since Canada is aiming to reach its target of 401,000 immigrants in 2021, it needs each month a significant increase in numbers. It has till June, almost 143,000 immigrants admitted, which leaves it 258,000 behind. In other words, the country will need 43,000 immigrants from July to December 2021 each month to reach the target. Though the first six months have been slow-paced, the IRCC may surprise to reach the target in an efficient manner till the end of the year. Reaching this tough range can be made easier by recruiting new foreign workers through its economic and provincial immigration streams.
