This past week, four Canadian provinces released Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw results. Immigration
ministers from across Canada also met in New Brunswick to identify how to best achieve
the country's immigration goals, and they agreed on multi-year PNP levels plan which
is good news for PNP applicants & another good news this week was Canada temporarily
making distance learning eligible for Express Entry points. In this video, we take a look
at PNP draws and results in different provinces and why it is still believed that CRS score
will go down. Welcome back everybody, thank you for watching

update their profiles by August 2nd to benefit from a new measure to count online, out of
Canada, and part-time studies for points. A piece of good news for students who studied
online during the pandemic, the Canadian government has relaxed rules for PR eligibility through
their Express Entry system, which will come as a huge relief to thousands of students.
Students enrolled in Canadian universities who had to complete their courses online due
to the pandemic are now eligible for Canadian educational credential points.
Normally, online education does not count for Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points
if it accounts for more than 50% of the programme. But now, Express Entry candidates will now
be eligible for Canadian educational credential points for programmes completed online between
March 2020 and August 2022, due to a new IRCC update.
you know, most Canadian provinces and territories (with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut)
operate their own PNPs. Through these programs, interested candidates may be invited to apply
for a provincial nomination. Although provincial nomination is not in itself the same as a
permanent residence, it can significantly increase the chances of obtaining permanent
resident status. For instance, PNP candidates with Express Entry profiles who receive
a nomination get 600 points added to their CRS score. They also become eligible to be
invited to apply for a PNP-specific round of invitations.
The increase in the number of PNP admissions in Canada is due to the fact that the federal
and provincial governments consider it an effective tool to promote the economic development
of the country. Express Entry draws are held every two weeks.
After a long pause, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada is now once again
holding all-program Express Entry draws. The first all-program draw since 2020 was held
on July 6, and a total of 1,500 Express Entry candidates with a minimum CRS score of 557
received Invitations to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. The most recent Express
Entry draw was held on July 20 with 1,750 invitations issued.
Western Canada invited hundreds of candidates to apply for provincial nomination.
PNP draw results since July 21 for Saskatchewan,
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) published invitation round results for July
21 and 28. The July 21 draw was the largest of 2022 where
802 candidates were invited to apply for a provincial nomination. The province invited
797 candidates from Express Entry programs and five invitations were issued to Ukrainian
nationals as a response to the current crisis. The July 28 draw invited 748 candidates to
apply for provincial nomination. Of these, 469 invitations went to candidates in the
Occupations in Demand category and 279 were issued to Express Entry candidates.
In all categories over both draws, candidates required a minimum Express of Interest (EOI)
score of 68. Saskatchewan has been holding PNP draws on
a weekly basis throughout July. This is a departure from the usual pattern of once per
month. for British Columbia,
The province of British Columbia typically holds a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
round of invitations on a weekly basis. The most recent rounds of invitations under
the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) were held on July 26. More than 183 candidates
received invitations to apply for a provincial nomination in these draws.
A total of 147 of these candidates were invited through a general draw, including tech occupations.
These candidates must meet the requirements of one of British Columbia’s Express Entry
BC or Skills Immigration categories, which are managed through the Skills and Immigration
Registration System (SIRS). Invited candidates had to score a minimum of 78 points.
The province also held rounds of invitations for candidates working in the following occupations:
• 22 early childhood educators and assistants (NOC 4214) with scores of at least 60 points;
and • 9 healthcare workers with scores of at
least 60 points. BC also announced on July 14 that it is ending
the temporary one-year pause of the BC PNP Entrepreneur Base Category. Experienced entrepreneurs
can once again enter the candidate pool for a chance to be invited into one of the province’s
upcoming periodic draws. For Manitoba,
The province held a PNP draw on July 28 and issued 355 invitations through the Manitoba
Provincial Nomination Program. The invitations were divided across three
immigration streams: • Skilled Workers in Manitoba — 299 invitations
with a minimum score of 693; • Skilled Workers Overseas — 15 invitations
with a minimum score of 726; and • International Education Stream — 41
invitations with no score requirement. Out of all who were invited to apply, 56 had
profiles in the Express Entry system. For Ontario,
On July 27, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program issued invitations to two candidates
under the Economic Mobility Pathways Project. This program aims to help skilled refugees
immigrate to Canada through existing economic programs.
For those candidates who are looking for getting ITAs with lower CRS scores, I’d like to
add that it stands to reason that as more Invitations to Apply (ITAs) are issued, the Comprehensive
Ranking System (CRS) score requirement could go down. IRCC will have to continue inviting
candidates from all programs in order to meet its 2023 immigration targets according to
its current multi-year immigration levels plan. About 80% of candidates who respond
to their invitations in these new all-program draws are expected to get decisions in six
months. You can see another video I explain how the
