Canada’s New Express Entry in PNP-Only invited 1548 candidates for PR.

On October 25, 2023, the latest Express Entry Draw sent out 1,548 invitations to apply for permanent residency (PR) in a ‘PNP only’ round of invites.

In this ‘PNP’-only draw, the lowest-ranked candidate’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) cutoff score was 776.

Since May 2023, IRCC has conducted this PNP-only Express Entry draw, and in comparison, the CRS cutoff score has increased by 85 points.

This week, new Express Entry draws are anticipated to be announced by IRCC, and we may expect to see a recurrence of the STEM and healthcare invitation rounds.

Instead, the first CEC-only draw since September 2021 could be a surprise from IRCC. For the most recent information and details on Express Entry drawings, come back later.

The Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) application invitations are being sent out by Canada from today.

Invitations to apply for permanent residency under PGP 2023 (Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship) have now begun to arrive from IRCC.

In order to receive up to 15,000 complete applications, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is extending invitations to apply to 24,200 interested potential sponsors over a two-week period.

Only those sponsors’ families who have already filed interest in sponsoring forms are eligible for the invitations.

These invites to apply for PR for their parents and/or grandparents will be sent to the sponsors who expressed interest in 2020 starting today and over the course of the following two weeks.

On October 10, 2023, the current Express Entry lottery sent out 3,725 invitations to apply for permanent residency (PR) in a ‘no programme stated’ round of invites.

In this ‘no programme stated’ draw, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) cutoff score reduces by four points to 500.
