What Is a PNP Draw?

A PNP (Provincial Nominee Program) draw target candidates who have been nominated by a Canadian province or territory. A PNP nomination adds 600 points to your base CRS score, giving you a strong chance of receiving an ITA in the next draw.

This is a powerful route for those who may not qualify directly through the Federal Express Entry due to lower CRS scores.

Why Does This Draw Matter?

With Express Entry becoming more competitive in 2025, many candidates are turning to Provincial Nominee Programs as a strategic shortcut to Canada PR. If you don’t have a high CRS score yet, don’t worry. You can improve your profile through:

• Better IELTS scores
• ECA updates
• Adding spousal points
• Gaining Canadian or relevant foreign work experience
