Comparisons to Previous PNP Draw

The July 16 draw is a larger PNP draw than the prior draw on July 2, which only saw 920 invitations issued. The CRS also dropped from 739 to 670, which shows that competition may be easing among candidates eligible for PNP. We expect to see this given the bi-weekly draw schedule.

It’s also interesting to compare the PNP draw numbers to the category-based invitation numbers. Each PNP draw in the last six weeks has invited fewer than 1,500 candidates, while the category-based rounds range from 1,800 for trades to 3,750 for healthcare occupations. The lion’s share of invitations are going to category-based applicants, even when we account for the more regular PNP draws.
