Shift in Immigration Strategy Reflects Government Policies
The reduction in PNP ITAs aligns with Canada’s broader immigration goals. The Immigration Levels Plan for 2025 aims to balance intake across different pathways. While PNP draws have been frequent, Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and French-language proficiency draws have seen a larger share of total ITAs issued.
Here’s a breakdown of Express Entry ITAs so far in 2025:
- Total ITAs issued: 23,185 across 10 draws
- PNP Draws: 2,833 ITAs across 5 draws
- CEC Draws: 9,350 ITAs across 3 draws
- French-language proficiency draws: 11,000 ITAs across 2 draws
Key Benefits of PNP
- Higher chances of receiving an ITA due to the CRS point boost
- Faster processing times compared to other immigration pathways
- Strong alignment with provincial labor market needs
