Canada’s Latest Express Entry Draw Results

Recently, Canada conducted its first Express Entry draw of May, inviting 380 candidates through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The minimum CRS score required for this draw was 798, slightly higher than the previous PNP draw in April.

Since the beginning of 2026, IRCC has been consistently conducting PNP-specific draws approximately every two weeks. The Express Entry pool currently comprises over 233,000 candidates, with more than 74,000 individuals falling within the CRS range of 451 to 500.

For many applicants within this score range, obtaining a provincial nomination remains one of the most viable pathways to securing an invitation for permanent residence in Canada.
