The latest Express Entry draw for November 2019 issued another 3600 ITAs to eligible candidates. The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Score for the draw was 471, a 1 point decrease since the previous draw.What is the Provincial Nomination Programs (PNP)?
The Canadian Provincial Nominee Programs are popular paths for fast permanent residency in Canada. There are eleven Canadian provinces and territories that participate in the PNP and together they have over 80 streams and programs that people can apply through to move to Canada. Those who want to apply through the equally popular Express Entry System, don’t have to worry, each PNP has at least one immigration program that aligns with the Federal Express Entry selections. That means Canadian provinces are allowed to select candidates from the Express Entry pool and notify them to apply in their Provincial Nominee Program. It does help, however, if the candidate has indicated interest in a province when they submit their profile.PNP Draws and Updates in November 2019
