Canada has released a new Express Entry Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw, inviting skilled candidates to apply for Permanent Residency . Here are the details:
– Draw Date:16 February 2026
– Category: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
– ITAs Issued: 279
– CRS Cut-off:*789
A strong CRS score reflects high demand for skilled professionals through provincial pathways. If you have a provincial nomination, your chances of Canada PR are significantly higher!
What does this mean for applicants?
The 789 CRS cut-off clearly shows that IRCC focused only on provincially nominated candidates. Since a nomination adds 600 points, most selected applicants likely had base CRS scores above 180 before receiving their nomination.
