Express Entry Draw: Canada Sends Out 503 New PNP Invitations

Canada’s immigration system has once again opened its doors to new hopefuls. A total of 503 candidates received Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residence. The latest draw took place under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) through the Express Entry system.

CRS cut-off and who qualified
To get selected in this draw, candidates needed a minimum score of 742 on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). They also needed to have submitted their Express Entry profile before 9:44 p.m. UTC on May 30, 2025.

These profiles came from candidates who were nominated by a Canadian province. Nomination adds 600 points to a candidate’s score, which explains the higher CRS cut-off for this round.

How 2025 Express Entry draws are shaping up
This was the fifth draw of June and the 22nd Express Entry draw of the year. So far in 2025, a total of 38,845 ITAs have been issued across various categories.

Here’s a breakdown of this year’s draws:

• 11 draws targeted PNP candidates.
  
• 5 draws were for Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
  
• 3 rounds focused on French-speaking applicants.
  
• 2 draws were for healthcare and social service workers.
  
• 1 round was for candidates in the education field.
  

Recent draw highlights
Earlier in June, IRCC held three more draws:

• On June 12, 3,000 CEC candidates received ITAs with a cut-off of 529.
  
• On June 10, only 125 PNP candidates got selected, requiring 784 CRS.
  
• On June 4, 500 healthcare and social service workers were chosen with a score of 504.
  

This ongoing selection reflects Canada’s efforts to invite skilled and in-demand workers across different fields.

Important next steps after receiving an ITA
Once someone receives an ITA, they must submit a full application for permanent residence. This application must be complete, honest, and backed by valid documents.

Giving false or misleading information is a serious offense. If a candidate is found guilty of misrepresentation, they can be banned from applying again for up to five years.

Misrepresentation can include fake documents, hiding facts, or giving wrong information — even if it’s unintentional. Immigration officials take these matters seriously to keep the process fair for everyone.

Stay truthful and well-prepared
Anyone planning to apply must ensure all their documents and personal information are accurate. Even small mistakes can lead to big problems. Canada’s immigration system rewards honesty and preparedness.
