Canada Issues Invitations for Permanent Residency Applications
Canada is inviting people from other countries to become permanent residents.
The government uses a points-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System to rank applicants based on things like their age and education.
Provinces can nominate people who meet their specific needs, such as having certain skills or job offers.
In June 2025, Canada held several lotteries for the Provincial Nominee Program, sending out hundreds of invitations.
Those selected can then apply to live and work permanently in Canada.
Canada's government is inviting foreign nationals to apply for permanent residency through the Provincial Nominee Program.
In June 2025, the IRCC held three draws, issuing a total of 905 invitations to apply.
The draws are based on the Express Entry system, using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to assess candidates.
The CRS considers factors like age, education, and language skills, with the threshold varying per draw.
Candidates can apply for PR through the PNP if they possess required skills, education, and employment history.
