Provincial Nominee Program draw held on May 12, 2021
What This Draw Means
In Draw #186, IRCC set the CRS cutoff at 752 and issued 557 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) on May 12, 2021. This means all candidates in the Express Entry pool with a CRS score of 752 or higher received an invitation to submit a permanent residence application.
This was a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw. PNP draws have high CRS cutoffs because provincial nominations add 600 points to a candidate's score. A provincial nomination virtually guarantees an Express Entry invitation.
This draw's cutoff was close to the category average of 743, reflecting a typical round for this draw type.
Candidates who received an ITA have 60 days to submit a complete permanent residence application. Those not invited remain in the pool for up to 12 months and will be considered in future draws.
