IRCC has released the latest provincial nominee program draw with 536 invitations. To qualify for the invitations, the successful candidates had to score 736 minimum under the round of invitations.
The successful candidates will now have 60 days to apply for permanent residence in Canada. The CRS is on the higher side compared with the other PNP draws in 2025 but this is also because the PNP candidates also receive 600 automatic points from the provincial nominations.
