Canada invites 302 PR hopefuls in Latest Express Entry Draw

On October 27, 2025, Canada once again opened its doors wider for skilled professionals through the latest Express Entry draw under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

This round saw 302 lucky candidates receiving Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for Canada PR, proving that the PNP continues to be one of the most powerful and reliable pathways to settle in Canada.

The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required in this draw was 761, showing that only those with a provincial nomination were invited.

For context, a provincial nomination adds 600 bonus points to a candidate’s CRS score, a massive boost that practically guarantees an invitation in the next draw.

What made this draw stand out?

Unlike all-program or occupation-based draws, this PNP-specific draw targeted individuals who had already been endorsed by a Canadian province or territory. These nominations are designed to help provinces fill local labour market gaps and bring in skilled professionals who can immediately contribute to the economy.

This draw continues a growing trend in 2025, Canada rewarding proactive applicants who align their skills with provincial needs.

How this draw affects your Canada PR journey?

For candidates still waiting in the Express Entry pool, this draw is a reminder: don’t just wait for the CRS to drop, explore Provincial Nominee Programs (like Ontario PNP, Alberta Advantage Immigration Program, or Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program). They can be your shortcut to getting that golden ITA.

PNP draws often favor in-demand occupations like IT professionals, healthcare workers, engineers, and tradespeople, making them ideal for skilled Indians seeking Canada PR in 2025.
