Canada has announced the latest results for the Express Entry Draw, inviting foreigners to apply for Permanent Resident (PR) status through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) extended invitations to 1,391 foreign nationals on July 16, 2024, with the lowest-ranked candidate achieving a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 670. The previous draw, held on July 2, 2024, saw 920 invitations with a minimum CRS score of 739.
Understanding the Provincial Nominee Program
The PNP allows Canadian provinces and territories to select immigrants who wish to live, work, and settle in a specific province. Each PNP stream has unique criteria, such as job offers, in-demand occupations, previous work or study experience in the province, or resources to start a business. The program is designed to attract skilled workers, students, entrepreneurs, and individuals with specific skills to enhance the local economy and settle permanently in Canada.
Steps to Obtain Canadian PR via PNP
1. Determine Eligibility: Research the requirements for available PNPs to ensure you meet the criteria.
2. Complete the Application Process: Fill out the necessary forms and gather supporting documents.
3. Submit to the Province: Send your application to the chosen province or territory for consideration.
4. Receive Provincial Nomination: If eligible, receive an official Provincial Nomination certificate.
5. Proceed to the Next Step: Use your nomination to apply for Canadian PR through the Express Entry system.
Comprehensive Ranking System
Canada employs the CRS to rank candidates based on age, education, employment history, and language proficiency. This system ensures that even the lowest-ranked candidate in each draw is guaranteed an Immigrant Visa for permanent residency, making the process transparent and fair.
Conclusion
For those dreaming of making Canada their home, the PNP within the Express Entry system offers a structured pathway to PR. With bi-weekly draws, potential immigrants have frequent opportunities to receive invitations based on their skills and qualifications, contributing to Canada’s diverse and dynamic society.
