The draw exclusively targeted Provincial Nominee Program candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) score of 685.
In the Express Entry draw held on November 10, Canada invited 775 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence. The draw exclusively targeted Provincial Nominee Program candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) score of 685. Considering that fact that the PNP candidates would have received 600 CRS score points along with their nomination, this is one of the lowest CRS cut-off scores in a PNP draw. It means, the candidates would have received invitation, even if their basic CRS score is mere 85. This is the second lowest cut-off score in a PNP draw held after March 2020.
If you are interested in immigrating to Alberta and do not have a job offer, the Alberta Express Entry stream may be a great option for you. While the most popular immigration route in Canada is known as the Express Entry system, there is an equally promising route called the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Express Entry is based on a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) in which points are accumulated based on human capital factors. While in most cases Express Entry candidates do not require a job offer, having one will result in a much higher number of points, and therefore a better chance of being invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada. Canada’s PNP, on the other hand, was introduced to ensure a more balanced distribution of the benefits of immigration throughout the country. The program gives participating provinces and territories the opportunity to nominate a set number of economic immigrants for permanent residence each year. PNPs are quite different from one province to another, with each province determining its own set of nomination requirements. In order to immigrate to Canada through a PNP, you must first be nominated by the province or territory. Canadian provinces and territories with a PNP have at least one “enhanced” nomination stream, meaning one that is linked to the federal Express Entry system. The Alberta Express Entry is one such stream while providing an immigration route for foreign nationals without a job offer. Get in touch with us today for more info!
