Express Entry Draw #143 | Provincial Nominee Program Specific
118 Express Entry candidates who have received provincial nominations have been invited to
apply for Canadian permanent residence in the 143rd Express Entry draw on April 15th, 2020.
The minimum CRS cut-off score for this draw was 808, but only candidates who have been
nominated through a Provincial Nominee Program will be invited.
In the 143rd Express Entry draw, the IRCC limited the draw to invite only candidates who have
already received a nomination through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
The April 15th draw saw 118 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) issued to PNP candidates with a CRS
score of 808 points or higher.
Each province, with the exception of Quebec, operates several PNP streams. These streams
are designed by the provinces to help meet their unique immigration goals, so the eligibility
criteria and application procedures vary. However, PNPs are a popular option because they can
be the fastest pathway to Canadian permanent residence.
In spite of the continued uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, we are glad to see
that the Canadian government is still holding Express Entry draws. Immigration plays an
important role in Canada, and we hope to see these numbers continue to climb in the coming
months. If you are interested in immigrating to Canada, start the process with us today!
