Canada held the new draw on August 18 invited 463 Provincial nominees to apply for permanent residence.
In order to receive an invitation, applicants had to achieve a score of at least 751 with a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) nomination related to Express Entry. It’s normal for PNP draws to have high cut points, as the provincial nomination itself is worth 600 points. In the previous PNP draw, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited applicants with scores of at least 760.
Candidates who achieved the minimum score were only invited if they had submitted their profile by April 13, 2021. IRCC always publishes a cut-off time whether or not there has been an actual tie.
