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.

Starting on September 30, a new immigration EOI system in Alberta.

Updates on the New AAIP: On September 30, 2024, the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) will launch a new Expression of Interest (EOI) system, which will revolutionize the way applications are chosen.

The purpose of this change is to improve efficiency and better match Alberta’s labor market requirements with the immigration process.

In order to show their interest in coming to Alberta, candidates use the EOI system, a points-based selection process.

Candidates will be added to a selection pool akin to the Express Entry pool upon submitting an EOI.

From time to time, AAIP will select applicants from this pool and invite the top performers who fit the demands of the local labor market to submit an application for immigration.

A new Canada PR pathway is currently being developed for TEER 4 and 5 jobs.

Canada is about to propose major changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations in a bold attempt to update its economic immigration framework for Canada PR.

The Forward Regulatory Plan: 2024–2026 project seeks to establish a new permanent economic class for workers in occupations classified as Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) 4 and 5.

These modifications, which are scheduled for pre-publication in the fall of 2024, are expected to increase the range of backgrounds and experiences among permanent residents, providing many foreign workers who are now employed in Canada with new opportunities.

Manitoba PNP draw invited 250 PR under skilled overseas worker category.

250 invitations to permanent residence were issued on June 25th, 2024, as part of the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) under the Skilled Worker Overseas category.

This draw focused on eligible foreign worker profiles that declared their present occupation as one of the following and had an MPNP EOI score of 516.

31301: Psychiatric nurses and registered nurses
31302: Practitioners of Nursing
32101 – Practical nurses with licenses
33102: Orderlies, patient service associates, and nurse aides
For the Skilled Worker Overseas category, this is one of the lowest cutoff scores that has been observed recently.

In this MPNP draw, 93 of the invited individuals possessed both a job seeker validation code and a verified Express Entry profile.

 

Skilled Worker Overseas Stream (SWO)

Designed for foreign skilled workers, the SWO provides two pathways:

1. The Manitoba Express Entry Pathway is available to individuals who meet the requirements of another MPNP stream, have close family ties to Manitoba, are skilled in one of the province’s high-demand occupations, and meet Express Entry requirements.
2. The Human Capital Pathway emphasizes the opportunity for qualified foreign migrants with expertise in in-demand occupations to find employment in Manitoba when they arrive.
