Express Entry Draw #214 | Canada Immigration | PNP Draw

Canada invited 1,036 Express Entry PNP candidates in the latest Express Entry Draw #214. On January 19, 2022, IRCC issued invitations to PNP candidates in the Express Entry pool to apply for Canadian permanent residence.

Draw Number: 214
Date of Draw: January 19, 2022
Number of Invitations Issued: 1,036
Minimum CRS: 745
Program Specified: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Tie-breaking rule: July 05, 2021

Individuals who received an invitation to apply in this draw held a nominee certificate from a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) allow provinces across Canada to hand-select newcomers that fill labour market or demographic gaps. Many PNPs operate through the Express Entry system. After an Express Entry candidate accepts a nomination on their online profile, an additional 600 points are added to their CRS score.  These additional points essentially guarantee the candidate an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in one of the federal Express Entry draws.

Prior to receiving a nomination, the lowest-ranking candidate had a CRS score of just 145.

This is the tenth consecutive PNP-only Express Entry draw. IRCC has been holding smaller PNP-specific draws since September.

The next express entry draw #215 is expected to occur on February 2nd, 2021.
