Saskatchewan Hosted Biggest PNP Draw of 2022

Saskatchewan, Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia announced their Provincial Candidate Program (PNP) results this week.

Most Canadian provinces and territories (except Quebec and Nunavut) operate their own PNPs. Through these programs, interested candidates may be invited to apply for state nominations. State endorsement itself is not the same as permanent residency, but by maximizing your CRS score, it serves as the first step for eligible candidates to obtain permanent residency. For example, a PNP candidate with a nominated Express Entry profile will have 600 points added to their score. You will also be eligible to be invited to apply for a series of PNP-specific invitations.

Since its inception in 1998, the PNP has welcomed only 400 immigrants, but due to its success, it now welcomes more than 80,000 per year. Her PNP enrollment growth in Canada is due to the fact that federal and provincial governments view her PNP as an effective tool to promote the country’s economic development.

The Express Entry draw will take place every two weeks. After a long hiatus, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is once again holding an Express Entry Draw for all programs.

The first all-program draw since 2020 took place on July 6th. Draws continued bi-weekly, with the most recent Express Entry draw taking place on his August 31st, with 2,750 invitations issued and a minimum CRS of 516.
