Canada Invites 733 PNP Candidates for Permanent Residence
On September 28, 2026, Canada's immigration authority conducted a draw through its Express Entry system, inviting 733 candidates from the Provincial Nominee Programme (PNP) to apply for permanent residence. The draw occurred at 10:41:06 UTC, with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score set at 725.
Only candidates ranked 733rd or higher were eligible for invitations. In cases where multiple candidates had the same lowest CRS score of 725, a tie-breaking rule was applied based on the submission date and time of their Express Entry profiles.
The cut-off for this tie-breaking rule was established at September 17, 2026, at 01:36:17 UTC, meaning candidates who submitted their profiles before this timestamp and had a score of 725 qualified for an invitation. This draw is part of a series of rounds in 2026 aimed at managing Canada's immigration targets through a points-based selection process.
