IRCC held the second Express Entry draw of 2025 for PNP candidates.

The Express Entry Draw candidates have received additional invitations to apply (ITAs) from Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

The department provided 455 ITAs to candidates in a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw.

To be accepted, candidates had to submit an Express Entry candidate profile by 7:39 p.m. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on December 7, 2024, and have a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 802.

Following two Canadian Experience Class (CEC) draws and a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw earlier this month, today’s draw marks the fourth of the year.

In 2025, the IRCC has so far granted 6,276 ITAs under the Express Entry method.

The immigration administration has decided to prioritize applicants who meet the requirements for PNP, CEC, and category-based selection draws for ITAs since July 2024. This is consistent with the IRCC’s annual Immigration Levels Plan, which gives admissions to applicants who are already in Canada and who possess the professional and linguistic abilities necessary to satisfy the nation’s demographic and economic objectives through the federal immigration system.

The following are Canada’s Express Entry priority categories for 2025: 
1. Healthcare
2. Exchanges
3. Proficiency in French.
