Canada invites 202 candidates for PR in latest Express Entry draw

Dear future neighbour,

Canada conducted its latest Express Entry draw on July 21, 2025, and it’s good news for those who have been nominated by a Canadian province through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

See below details of latest Express Entry Draw

– Date of Draw: July 21, 2025

– Program Targeted: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

– Number of Invitations Issued: 202

– Minimum CRS Score Required: 788

– Tie Breaking Rule- June 5, 2025

What Does This Mean?

This draw was only for candidates who had already received a provincial nomination. A provincial nomination gives applicants an automatic 600 extra points on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. That’s why the cut-off score is quite high. Without that 600 boost, most candidates wouldn’t be able to reach this score.

If you were invited in this draw, it means you are now officially being invited to apply for permanent residence (PR) in Canada.

See below CRS Score Distribution

CRS score range	Number of candidates
601-1200	200
501-600	21,348
451-500	78,339
491-500	13,567
481-490	13,941
471-480	17,741
461-470	17,397
451-460	15,693
401-450	73,409
441-450	15,124
431-440	16,007
421-430	14,463
411-420	14,500
401-410	13,315
351-400	54,165
301-350	21,122
0-300	8,331
Total	256,914

What Happens Next for Invited Candidates?

If you received an invitation:

1.You’ll have 60 days to submit your full permanent residence application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

2.You’ll need to provide all required documents (police checks, medical exams, proof of funds, etc.).

3.IRCC will then process your application—processing times can vary, but PNP applicants are usually prioritized.

What If You Weren’t Invited?

Don’t worry! Canada runs different types of Express Entry draws.

If you are not nominated through a province, you could still qualify through other categories, such as:

•Canadian Experience Class (CEC) – For people already working in Canada.

•Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) – For skilled workers with experience abroad.

•Category-based draws – For people in specific industries like healthcare, tech, or those with strong French language skills.

Alberta sends out 382 Invitations to Apply for PR in July 2025 draws

By EUIC Admin Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) remains active and responsive to the province’s labour market needs. Between July 3 and July 16, 2025, Alberta conducted six draws under multiple streams, issuing a total of 382 invitations to apply for provincial nomination.

These draws targeted candidates with backgrounds in healthcare, agriculture, aviation, and law enforcement, as well as local workers already employed in Alberta.

See below summary of six AAIP Draws held between July 3–16, 2025

Date	Stream / Pathway	Minimum Score Required	Number of Invitations
July 3, 2025	Dedicated Healthcare Pathway – Express Entry	62	36
July 4, 2025	Alberta Express Entry – Priority Sectors: Agriculture	64	15
July 8, 2025	Alberta Express Entry – Priority Sectors: Aviation	53	20
July 9, 2025	Dedicated Healthcare Pathway – Non-Express Entry	53	32
July 11, 2025	Alberta Opportunity Stream	72	269
July 16, 2025	Alberta Express Entry – Law Enforcement Pathway	49	<10

Key Observations

1. Healthcare Continues as a Top Priority

Alberta held two healthcare-specific draws in July; one for Express Entry profiles and another for non-Express Entry applicants. This reflects the ongoing demand for skilled healthcare workers across the province.

2. Targeted Sector Draws Remain Active

Small but strategic draws were held for individuals in agriculture, aviation, and law enforcement fields—indicating that Alberta continues to invite candidates with experience in these critical sectors.

3. Alberta Opportunity Stream Leads in Numbers

The Alberta Opportunity Stream (AOS) issued the largest number of invitations in this period—269 invitations on July 11 with a relatively high minimum score of 72. This stream benefits workers already employed full-time in Alberta and holding valid work permits.

4. Flexible Score Thresholds

Minimum required scores varied significantly from as low as 49 (Law Enforcement Pathway) to as high as 72 (AOS). This variation emphasizes how eligibility depends on the stream and occupation targeted.

Provincial Nomination Status in 2025

As of July 16, 2025, Alberta had issued 2,895 nominations out of its total 4,875 nomination allocation for the year. This leaves approximately 1,980 nomination spots still available for the remainder of 2025.

What This Means for Prospective Applicants

Targeted sectors are your best bet. If your occupation falls under healthcare, agriculture, aviation, or law enforcement, Alberta is actively inviting candidates like you.
If you’re already working in Alberta, the Alberta Opportunity Stream offers a viable pathway to permanent residency—with significantly more invitations being issued under this category.
Maintain an active Express Entry profile and submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the AAIP portal if applicable.
Language tests, work experience, and ties to Alberta (such as a job offer or employment) can significantly improve your chances.

Canada opens 2025 Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship on July 28

By EUIC Admin News

Dear future neighbour,

Canada has announced its 2025 intake for the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP), a special immigration pathway that allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents and grandparents for permanent residency. This program is a key part of Canada’s family reunification plan, helping families stay together for the long term.

When Will Invitations Be Sent?

The invitation process will begin on July 28, 2025, and will continue for about two weeks. During this time, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will send out email invitations to potential sponsors who submitted an “Interest to Sponsor” form back in 2020.

If you submitted the form in 2020 and haven’t received an invitation in the past, you might be one of the lucky ones this year. Make sure to check your email inbox and spam folder regularly starting July 28.

Who Can Be Sponsored?

This program allows you to sponsor your:

Biological or adopted parents
Grandparents
Their spouses or common-law partners (if applicable)

However, siblings and extended family members cannot be sponsored through this program.

Who Can Sponsor?

To sponsor your parents or grandparents, you must:

Be at least 18 years old
Be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or registered under the Canadian Indian Act
Live in Canada
Meet the required income level for the past three years
Agree to financially support your parents or grandparents for 20 years (or 10 years if you live in Quebec)

Meeting the Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) is very important. It shows that you can take care of your family members financially without needing social assistance.

See below the Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) Table

Family Size	2024	2023	2022
2 people	$47,549	$44,530	$43,082
3 people	$58,456	$54,743	$52,965
4 people	$70,972	$66,466	$64,306
5 people	$80,496	$75,384	$72,935
6 people	$90,784	$85,020	$82,259
7 people	$101,075	$94,658	$91,582
Each additional person	$10,291	$9,636	$9,324

For instance, if you want to sponsor your parents and you live with your spouse and one child (making a household of 5 people in total), you must have earned at least $80,496 in 2024, $75,384 in 2023, and $72,935 in 2022 to qualify.

How Many Invitations Will Be Sent?

IRCC will send 17,860 invitations, with the goal of approving 10,000 complete applications. Only people who submitted an interest form in 2020 will be considered—no new forms are being accepted this year.

What Happens After You Receive an Invitation?

If you receive an invitation, you must:

Submit a complete sponsorship application through IRCC’s online portal
Include all necessary documents such as income proofs, medical exams, and police clearances
Submit your application within the deadline given in the invitation

It’s a good idea to start preparing your documents now so that you’re ready if you are selected.

Didn’t Get an Invitation?

If you don’t receive an invitation this year, you won’t be able to apply for PGP until the next intake period. However, you can still bring your parents or grandparents to Canada through the Super Visa program.

The Super Visa allows parents and grandparents to:

Stay in Canada for up to 5 years at a time
Visit multiple times over 10 years
Reapply for extensions if needed

To apply for a Super Visa, you need to show proof of medical insurance and meet income requirements.

What Should You Do Now?

If you submitted the interest form in 2020, check your email regularly starting July 28
Start gathering your documents now, just in case you get selected
If you don’t get selected, consider applying for the Super Visa as a backup option

Manitoba invites 67 candidates in latest MPNP draw

By EUIC Admin Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

On July 10, 2025, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) issued 67 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) across two immigration streams:

Stream	Number of invitations issued	Cut-off score
IES	40	N/A
SWS	27	673

Notably, 29 candidates had valid Express Entry profiles and job seeker validation codes, enhancing their chances at federal permanent residency through added CRS points.

This draw reflects Manitoba’s focus on:

Retaining international graduates educated in the province
Supporting local skilled workers with job offers or work experience
Strengthening links to the federal Express Entry system

Focus on Manitoba-Educated Graduates

The International Education Stream (IES) continues to play a vital role in Manitoba’s immigration strategy, contributing 40 invitations in this round. Designed for international graduates who have completed advanced post-secondary programs in Manitoba, this stream offers a direct pathway to permanent residency for highly educated individuals already integrated into the province’s economy and community.

Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream: Moderate Cut-off

Under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba (SWM) stream, 27 candidates were invited with a minimum required score of 673. This reflects a moderately competitive cut-off compared to previous draws, making this stream accessible to skilled workers with solid employment history and settlement potential within the province.

The July 10 draw follows a consistent trend of regular MPNP selections throughout 2025. Key highlights from recent months include:

June 26, 2025: 492 LAAs issued (including 478 under IES)
June 12, 2025: 36 Skilled Worker Overseas invitations (cut-off: 613)
May 29, 2025: 30 Skilled Worker Overseas invitations (cut-off: 606)

British Columbia invites candidates in latest BC PNP draw

By EUIC Admin Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

British Columbia extended more Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to immigrant entrepreneurs in the just concluded week.

The BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) selected less than 17 candidates through two Entrepreneur Immigration (EI) streams: the EI Base and EI Regional streams.

See below details of BC PNP Draw:

Stream	Number of invitations issued	Cut-off score
EI Base stream	12	121
EI Regional stream	<5	115

This was the fifth entrepreneur-focused draw in 2025.

So far this year, nearly all draws have targeted entrepreneurs, except for one skilled worker draw on May 8.

Up to 39 invitations have gone through the EI Base stream and no more than 20 through the EI Regional stream. No draws have happened under the EI Strategic Projects stream yet.

Entrepreneur Pathways to B.C.

Foreign entrepreneurs can apply to start or buy a business in B.C. through either the EI Base or Regional stream. Each stream has different eligibility rules, including personal net worth and investment amount.

The EI Regional stream is for starting a new business in a rural community. Applicants must first visit and get a referral from that community.

The EI Base stream allows entrepreneurs to start or buy a business anywhere in B.C. and does not require a referral.

To qualify, Regional stream candidates need a score of at least 105/200, and Base stream candidates need at least 115/200. Both require the creation of one full-time job for a Canadian or permanent resident.

Most applications receive a decision within four months.

Newfoundland and Labrador Sends Out More Immigration Invitations

By EUIC Admin Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

Newfoundland and Labrador invited more people to apply for immigration, June 24, 2025 through two programs: the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) and the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP).

This was the fourth time the province selected candidates using its new Expression of Interest (EOI) system. In this round, 320 invitations were sent out, one of the smallest rounds since April.

Here’s how many people were invited in earlier rounds:

405 on May 29
328 on May 8
256 on April 3

So far in 2025, Newfoundland and Labrador has invited 1,309 people in total—1,095 through the PNP and 214 through the AIP.

Although the federal government reduced the province’s immigration spaces for 2025, Newfoundland and Labrador successfully asked for more. They now have 2,050 spaces for the PNP (up from 1,050 originally) and 475 for the AIP. Right now, 1,216 PNP and 261 AIP spots are still open.

How to Apply

To be considered, candidates must fill out an Expression of Interest (EOI) on the province’s Immigration Accelerator website. Most people also need a special code from their employer to prove they have a valid job offer. This code is not needed for PNP candidates already living in Canada.

EOIs stay active for 12 months. If any personal or job details change, the candidate must update their profile.

If selected, candidates will get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) by email. After receiving an ITA, they (or their employer for AIP) must submit a full application within 60 days.

Getting an ITA doesn’t mean automatic approval. Applicants still need to meet all program rules, be allowed to come to Canada, and follow all provincial requirements.

New Minimum Funds Required for Express Entry to Canada

By EUIC Admin Express Entry, News

Dear future neighbour,

Canada has just updated the minimum amount of money required for Express Entry applicants to be eligible. If you’re planning to immigrate through programs like the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) or Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).

On July 7, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) boosted the minimum required settlement funds across the board by approximately CAD $500—adjusted annually based on 50 % of Canada’s low-income cut-off (LICO).

See Below Minimum Funds Required (Effective July 7, 2025)

Family Members	New Requirement (CAD)	Previous Requirement (CAD)
1	15,263	14,690
2	19,001	18,288
3	23,360	22,483
4	28,362	27,297
5	32,168	30,690
6	36,280	34,917
7	40,392	38,875
+1 member	+4,112	+3,958

These new amounts apply to applicants under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)—two streams managed through the Express Entry system.

Important Deadline: July 28, 2025

If you’re already in the Express Entry pool, you must update your “Settlement funds” section to reflect these new amounts by July 28, 2025, to remain eligible. Luckily, doing so doesn’t affect your original profile submission date or CRS ranking .

Who Needs to Show Funds?

You need to show proof of funds if:
- You’re applying under FSWP or FSTP
- You don’t have a job offer in Canada
You don’t need to show funds if:
- You’re applying under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
- You have a valid job offer and are authorized to work in Canada

Even if you’re exempt, you must still upload a letter of explanation stating your exemption (e.g., CEC invitation or job offer details).

What Counts as Proof of Funds?

Acceptable documentation includes:

Official bank letters on institution letterhead, including:
- Account holder’s name
- Account numbers, open dates
- Current balances and 6‑month average
- Outstanding debts, if any
- Bank contact details (address, phone, email)
The money must be readily available and not locked in investments or borrowed.

DON’T include: Property equity, borrowed money, investments not readily accessible .

Joint bank accounts are acceptable, though you must prove access if the account isn’t solely in your name.

What Do You Need to Do Now?

Check your Express Entry profile
Update your settlement funds if required
Gather updated bank letters
Upload a letter of explanation if you’re exempt

As noted, Express Entry issues roughly 100,000 ITAs annually, making it crucial to meet eligibility criteria without delay .

Canada holds consecutive Express Entry Draws on July 7 and 8, 2025

By EUIC Admin Express Entry

Dear future neighbour,

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has continued its targeted Express Entry strategy with two new draws held on July 7 and July 8, 2025. These latest rounds of invitations reflect Canada’s ongoing focus on Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) applicants—two of the most sought-after immigration streams under the Express Entry system.

See below details of July 7 Express Entry draw:

Program: Provincial Nominee Program
Date and time: July 7, 2025
CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited: 750
Number of invitations issued: 356
Rank needed: 356 or above
Tie-breaking rule: March 19, 2025

This was a category-specific draw aimed solely at Express Entry candidates who had secured a nomination from a Canadian province or territory. The high minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 750 reflects the 600-point boost that comes with a provincial nomination.

PNP draws remain one of the fastest and most reliable pathways to permanent residency for candidates working in high-demand occupations across Canada.

See below details of July 8 Express Entry Draw

Program Targeted: Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
Date of Draw: July 8, 2025
CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited: 518
Number of invitations issued: 3,000
Rank needed: 3,000 or above

The second draw, held on July 8, 2025, invited 3,000 candidates under the Canadian Experience Class—marking the third consecutive CEC-specific draw this summer.

This draw saw a slight drop in the minimum CRS score, down from 521 in the previous CEC round. The consistent number of invitations suggests that IRCC is ramping up efforts to transition more temporary workers and graduates already in Canada to permanent residency.

CEC draws continue to benefit international graduates and skilled foreign workers who have gained at least one year of Canadian work experience in a skilled occupation.

See below CRS Score Distribution in the Pool

The Express Entry pool had 256,224 candidates as of July 6, 2025, with the following breakdown::

CRS score range	Number of candidates
601-1200	358
501-600	22,591
451-500	77,550
491-500	13,342
481-490	13,830
471-480	17,534
461-470	17,309
451-460	15,535
401-450	72,608
441-450	15,069
431-440	15,786
421-430	14,341
411-420	14,315
401-410	13,097
351-400	53,697
301-350	21,135
0-300	8,285
Total	256,224

Immigration Strategy and Planning

These two draws reflect IRCC’s deliberate shift toward targeted, program-specific invitations. The current Express Entry strategy, introduced in mid-2023, allows the department to invite candidates based on specific categories such as provincial nominations, in-Canada experience, healthcare occupations, STEM professionals, French speakers, and others.

As of July 8, 2025, IRCC has issued a total of 42,201 ITAs through Express Entry, across general, program-specific, and category-based draws.

What This Means for Candidates

PNP applicants should maintain high CRS scores and monitor provincial nomination opportunities closely.
CEC candidates with CRS scores above 510 may find improved chances in upcoming rounds, especially as IRCC balances scores to meet annual targets.
Category-based draws are expected to continue throughout 2025, focusing on Canada’s labor market needs and demographic goals.

Alberta invites over 130 Candidates in two targeted AAIP Draws

By EUIC Admin Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) recently held two targeted draws, extending invitations to 133 candidates in skilled sectors vital to the province’s economic growth.

See below details of latest AAIP draw

Date	Stream	Cut-off score	Number of Invitations
June 25, 2025	Alberta Express Entry Stream – Priority Sectors – Construction	67	15
June 20, 2025	Alberta Opportunity Stream – Agriculture	52	118

On June 20, Alberta focused on the agriculture sector, inviting individuals who are already working in farming or related fields within the province.

With a relatively low score requirement of just 52 points, this draw gave a clear message: Alberta needs workers who are helping feed the country and keep rural economies running.

Just five days later, Alberta held a much smaller but equally important draw this time aimed at people with construction experience inviting fewer candidates were selected. From electricians to heavy equipment operators, the province is looking for tradespeople who can help build homes, roads, and infrastructure across Alberta’s growing cities and towns.

Why These Draws Matter

Alberta is choosing to invite people who are already making a difference in the province especially in industries where workers are in short supply. These draws aren’t just about filling jobs, they’re about helping communities grow and thrive.

So far this year, the AAIP has nominated 2,688 candidates from its total allocation of 4,875. This means 2,187 nomination spots are still available for eligible applicants in the months ahead.

Is This a Sign You Should Apply?

If you:

Are already working in Alberta in farming, construction, or other essential sectors
Have created a profile through Express Entry or Alberta’s EOI system
Are waiting for your chance to be invited…

Now might be the perfect time to update your profile and make sure your information is current. Even if you weren’t selected in these draws, Alberta is likely to continue inviting people based on what the province needs most.

Canada raises financial requirements for International Students effective September 2025

By EUIC Admin News

Dear future neighbour,

Starting September 1, 2025, international students applying for study permits in Canada (outside Quebec) must show they have at least CAD 22,895 to cover living expenses—not including tuition and travel. This is an increase from the previous requirement of CAD 20,635.

This new rule applies only to applications submitted on or after September 1, 2025. Applications filed before that date can still follow the old requirement.

Why the Increase?

The financial requirement is based on Canada’s Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO), which is updated annually to reflect the rising cost of living. The goal is to make sure students can support themselves without financial hardship.

New financial benchmarks (excluding Quebec):

Family Size	New Requirement (per year, excluding tuition & travel)
1	CAD 22,895
2	CAD 28,502
3	CAD 35,040
(Amounts increase by approx. CAD 6,170 per additional family member)

What counts as proof of funds?

Students can provide:

Bank statements (Canada or home country)
GIC (Guaranteed Investment Certificate)
Education loans
Scholarship letters
Receipts for paid tuition or housing
Letter of financial support (e.g., from a parent or sponsor)

Why it Matters

This change is part of a wider effort by Canada to:

Protect international students from financial struggles
Ease pressure on housing and student services
Reduce the number of low-quality education providers
Control the overall number of incoming students

For example, during the first quarter of 2025, study permit approvals for Indian students dropped by 31% (from 44,295 to 30,650), illustrating how heightened requirements are impacting applicant numbers.

What Should You Do?

Apply before August 31, 2025 if possible, to meet the lower financial threshold.
Prepare documents early especially if you’re applying after the new rules take effect.
Budget carefully- include tuition, living costs, and travel.
Plan for family- each additional person significantly increases the required funds.

Canada remains a top study destination, but it’s becoming more selective. If you’re planning to study there, be financially prepared and stay informed about the latest immigration policies.
