The IRCC has been alternating between a Canadian Experience draw and a Provincial Nominee Program. This process is a direct contributor to the fluctuating score requirements. Candidates nominated at a provincial level for applications usually have a higher cut-off point because they receive 600 points during the nominations.
The comprehensive Ranking System has proven exceptionally useful to PNP candidates because they get an easier time getting their applications accepted. When the pandemic took hold, immigrants already in the country were given priority by the IRCC. CEC candidates are usually already living in the country. The case is different for PNP candidates who do not necessarily need to be in the country to apply.
PNP candidates usually get approved based on how useful they have proven that they are useful to the socio-economic growth of the Canadian province they get their invite from. The program still invites a large number of domestic applicants.
Express Entry and PNP what is the difference?
Some people have a hard time differentiating the different programs that may eventually get them Canadian citizenship. Simply put, express entry is a program with the federal government as the overseeing body, while individual provinces run the PNP program. The express entry program will generally focus on how many points the applicant has. In contrast, the PNP program is geared towards proving the applicants are of significant use to the regional labor market. Submit your application today for a chance to score Canadian citizenship.
