Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada announced the latest Express Entry draw #328 exclusively for provincial nominees.
Date of Draw: 02.12.2024
Day of Draw: Monday
Time of Draw: 15:37:54 UTC
Draw Type: Provincial Nominee Program draw
ITAs issued: 676
CRS score cut-off: 705
The latest Express Entry Draw #328 is the very first round of invitation for the month of December 2024.
The CRS score cut-off was relatively lower than the previous PNP Express Entry draws. For example, the previous Express Entry draw for provincial nominees had the highest score cut-off of 816 points.
The CRS score for a Provincial Nominee Program Express Entry draw is generally higher than other candidates in the Express Entry pool. This is because the Comprehensive Ranking System awards an additional 600 points to applicants who get a nomination from a Canadian province.
Therefore, provincial nominees tend to have a higher CRS score, and the PNP Express Entry draws usually have a CRS cut-off higher than 600 points.
