Express Entry: IRCC Sent More Invites To PNP Candidates

The Canadian immigration department has invited more people to apply for permanent residency through Express Entry. This latest draw focused only on candidates from the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

On June 10, a total of 125 invitations to apply (ITAs) went out. To get selected, each candidate needed a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of at least 784. Also, candidates must have created their Express Entry profile before 6:12 p.m. UTC on September 12, 2024.

Three Express Entry Draws This Month So Far
This is the third draw in June. It comes after a healthcare and social services draw on June 4 and another PNP draw on June 2. All three draws were held under the new Immigration Minister, Lena Diab.

So far in 2025, Canada has sent out 35,342 ITAs through Express Entry.

Breakdown of Draws in 2025
Here’s how different draws looked this year:

• PNP draws: 10 times
  
• Canadian Experience Class (CEC): 4 times
  
• French-speaking candidates: 3 times
  
• Healthcare and social services: 2 times
  
• Education-based draw: once
  

Each draw has different requirements and target groups. CRS scores and number of ITAs also vary in every round.

Highlights from Past Draws

• May 13: 500 CEC candidates invited, with a cut-off CRS of 547
  
• April 14: 825 PNP candidates invited, CRS score of 764

These changes show how Canada targets different kinds of applicants each month.

Can You Update Your Express Entry Profile?
Yes, candidates can update their profile anytime after submitting it. This is important for things like new language test scores or added work experience. Both can raise your CRS score, which boosts your chance of getting an invitation.

If something in your life changes, you must update your profile. Your information should always be true. If you get invited with wrong or outdated details, your application can be rejected.

Why Accurate Info Matters
Giving false information can lead to big problems. Even if the mistake was unintentional, you could be charged with misrepresentation. That can lead to losing your permanent residency or even citizenship. In some cases, people may also face a fine or be banned from applying again for several years.
