Canada has already carried out its initial Express Entry draw of November 2025, providing 714 Invitations to Apply permanent residency, using the Provincial Nominee Program.
This is the first draw following the release of the new Immigration Levels Plan of Immigration, Refugee and Citizen Canada 2026-2028.
It is also the biggest PNP-oriented Express Entry draw to date, since April 14, 2025, when 825 candidates were invited.
Key Details of the November 10 Express Entry Draw
Program: Provincial Nominee Program
Date and Time: November 10, 2025
Lowest CRS Score: 738
Number of Invitations Issued: 714
Rank Required: 714 or above
Tie-Breaking Rule: February 22, 2025, at 2:12:01 UTC
The CRS cutoff score is in the line with our Express Entry draw predictions and CRS trends which we have published on November 4, 2025.
Technically, candidates who scored a CRS score exceeding 138 with provincial nomination addition of 600 points received invitations in the Express Entry draw today.
The draw serves to strengthen the role of Canada to continue with the process of choosing high-skilled immigrants based on the provincial labour market priorities.
Why This Draw Matters
This draw is an indicator of the continuous cooperation of the federal government with the provinces in a bid to cater to the economical requirements of the regions by way of specific PNP selections.
It also followed not long after the publication of the 2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan, where the Canadian government raised the amount of PNP quota by 66%.
Since it is the biggest PNP draw in almost seven months, it means that IRCC is again pushing to issue additional provincial draws before the end of the year that can be included in the total admissions of 2026.
CRS cutoff also continues to be high and candidates interested in increasing their odds should get nomination opportunities in provinces that are actively aligned with their abilities.

The November 10 draw keeps the trend of IRCC to issue specific PNP invitations on a regular basis.
Its 738 cutoff is however an indication that competition is still fierce even among provincial nominees.
What’s Next for Express Entry Candidates
As the series of invitations are likely to run several times till 2025, prospective candidates may concentrate on the improvement of their Comprehensive Ranking System ratings.
Such factors that can help a great deal to improve CRS rankings include:
Age: Applicants under 30 generally receive higher points.
Education: Canadian credentials or postgraduate degrees boost CRS.
Language Proficiency: High IELTS, CELPIP, or TEF scores are key.
Work Experience: Both foreign and Canadian experience matter.
Provincial Nomination: Adds 600 CRS points, often securing an ITA.
The individuals whose CRS scores are approximately 138-200 are advised to take provincial Nominations to ensure that they have the best change.
As a number of the provinces will be given higher nominee quotas under the new immigration plan, the prospects of qualified applicants are high.
The immigration system in Canada is still developing in the data-oriented and regionalism approach.
As long as IRCC realigns according to the economic priorities, PNP-driven selections will be expected to dominate until the end of 2025.
The following Express Entry draw may be either a category-based or Canadian Experience Class round but at least this most recent PNP draw confirms that provincial pathways are the quickest path to gaining permanent residency.
