EXPRESS ENTRY: CRS 717 for PNP applicants

Eshal02303 May, 2021Travel

The new PNP draw marked a drop in the CRS by 36 points from the previous PNP draw. In this draw, Canada invited 381 new immigrants from the Express Entry program to apply for a Permanent Residency (PR) visa on April 28, 2021. All the invited candidates were required to have a previously received nomination from one of the provinces through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). This is the reason for the CRS score to be 717 as we all know that 600 additional points are awarded when the candidate receives a nomination. This draw had the lowest CRS requirement in all the PNP draws held this year. If we reduce the nomination points, the points required for this draw were 117 only.
