Candidates are selected based on a points system that considers factors like age, education, work experience, and language skills. The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply during regular draws.
From healthcare and STEM to trades, agriculture, and the newly added category: education, the updated categories focuses on filling labor shortages. Express Entry continues to prioritize applicants with skills in demand, making it a key tool for Canada to attract top talent and meet its economic needs.

The government evaluates various factors such as the demand for specific occupations, the country’s economic growth, and demographic trends. Categories are updated periodically to align with these needs, ensuring that skilled professionals fill critical roles in Canada’s workforce.
This system helps ensure that the right individuals are selected to contribute to the Canadian economy, while also supporting the country’s social and economic development. Regular adjustments to these categories allow for flexibility in responding to emerging trends and challenges.

What Does This Mean for Applicants?
If you received an invitation in this draw, you are now one step closer to getting permanent residency in Canada! You have 60 days to submit your application, making sure you include all the right documents and information.
Why French?
This draw was special because it focused on candidates who speak French. Canada values people who are bilingual (speak both French and English), especially in areas like Quebec, where French is the main language. By encouraging people who speak French to apply, Canada hopes to strengthen its bilingual communities and workforce.
What’s Next?
This draw was just the beginning! IRCC will continue to hold similar draws in the future, sometimes focusing on other skills or professions that are in demand. If you want to increase your chances of being invited in future draws, make sure your profile is up-to-date and be ready for the next opportunity!

On February 17, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted its latest Express Entry draw, focusing on candidates from the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). A total of 646 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) were issued to candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 750.
Key Details of the February 17, 2025, PNP Draw:
Number of ITAs Issued: 646
Minimum CRS Score: 750
Program Specified: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Tie-breaking Rule: July 23, 2024
This draw marks the 336th round of invitations under the Express Entry system.
Recent Trends in Express Entry Draws:
The February 17 draw continues the trend observed in earlier 2025 draws, with a focus on candidates from the PNP. For instance, the previous draw on February 4, 2025, also targeted PNP candidates, issuing 455 ITAs to those with a minimum CRS score of 802.
In contrast, the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) draws have seen a decrease in the minimum CRS scores. The February 5, 2025, CEC draw issued 4,000 ITAs to candidates with a minimum CRS score of 521.
Implications for Prospective Applicants:
The higher CRS score requirements in PNP draws suggest that candidates with provincial nominations are highly competitive in the Express Entry pool. Prospective applicants aiming to boost their chances of being invited should consider getting a provincial nomination, as it significantly increases their CRS score.

Step-by-Step Guide to Express Entry
Checking Eligibility – You should first determine whether you meet the requirements for one of the three Express Entry programs.
Preparing Documents – Essential paperwork, such as language test results and an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA), must be gathered.
Submitting Profile – An Express Entry profile needs to be created, after which a CRS score will be assigned.
Entering the Pool – Candidates will remain in the pool while waiting for a draw where their CRS score reaches the required cut-off.
Receiving an ITA – If selected, a complete application for permanent residence must be submitted.
Providing Biometrics – If requested, biometric information will need to be provided.
Awaiting the Final Decision – IRCC will assess the application, and those who are approved will be granted a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).
The Express Entry system manages applications for three federal economic immigration programs:
The Federal Skilled Worker Program
The Federal Skilled Trades Program
The Canadian Experience Class.
Regular draws are held to invite top-ranking candidates to apply for permanent residency, with specific draws targeting PNP nominees, CEC candidates, and individuals with proficiency in the French language.
Candidates who receive an ITA have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residency. Those not selected in this draw are encouraged to improve their CRS scores through enhanced language proficiency, additional educational credentials, or obtaining a provincial nomination to increase their chances in future draws.
As Canada continues to prioritize the attraction of skilled immigrants to support its economic growth and address labor market needs, the Express Entry system remains a vital pathway for individuals seeking to establish themselves in the country.

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has introduced amendments to its Human Capital Priorities (HCP) and French-Speaking Skilled Worker (FSSW) streams, allowing self-employed physicians to use their work experience to meet the program’s eligibility requirements.
These changes align with recent federal policy updates, making it easier for self-employed physicians to qualify for permanent residency in Canada.
Eligibility for Self-Employed Physicians
Under the new amendments, applicants can count periods of self-employment towards the work experience requirement if their experience falls under one of the following National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes:
•NOC 31100 – Specialists in clinical and laboratory medicine
•NOC 31101 – Specialists in surgery
•NOC 31102 – General practitioners and family physicians
This change is particularly significant as self-employed work experience was traditionally not considered under the Express Entry system. Now, eligible physicians can benefit from these adjustments when applying to Ontario’s Express Entry streams.
Choosing a Federal Program for Assessment
Applicants to the HCP and FSSW streams must choose one of two federal programs to be assessed against:
1.Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
2.Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
The key change applies to applicants selecting the Canadian Experience Class (CEC): they can now use self-employment experience to meet the required work experience criteria if their occupation falls under one of the designated NOC codes listed above.
Restrictions on Other NOC Codes
These amendments do not apply to applicants with self-employment experience in occupations outside NOC 31100, NOC 31101, and NOC 31102. Other professions must continue to meet standard employment requirements under the existing OINP and federal Express Entry criteria.
Alignment with Federal Policy
These changes reflect recent federal updates that recognize the challenges self-employed physicians face when applying for permanent residency. In April 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced a policy allowing self-employed physicians in publicly funded healthcare systems to count their experience towards Express Entry eligibility.
By implementing these amendments, Ontario aims to attract and retain more physicians, addressing labor shortages in the healthcare system while ensuring a streamlined pathway to permanent residency for qualified medical professionals.
