On June 10, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 125 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) targeting candidates from the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

With a total of 35,342 ITAs issued in 2025 already, this announcement offers a revealing look into Canada’s immigration policy landscape.
June 10, 2025: Key Details of the Express Entry Draw
This particular draw marked IRCC’s third draw of the month. The specifics are crucial for potential candidates considering immigration to Canada:
- Program: Provincial Nominee Program
- Date and Time: June 10, 2025
- Lowest CRS Score of Candidates Invited: 784
- Total Invitations Issued: 125
- Rank Needed: 125 or above
- Tie-Breaking Rule: September 12, 2024, at 18:12:15 UTC
The noticeable reduction in the number of invitations reflects ongoing competitive trends within the PNP draws. This indicates that while opportunities exist, they are more selective, making it essential for candidates to enhance their profiles to be competitive.
This draw followed two earlier draws in June: a healthcare and social services draw on June 4 (issuing 500 ITAs with a CRS score of 504) and another PNP draw on June 2 (providing 277 ITAs with a cutoff of 726). This trend may suggest that a heightened focus is being placed on both PNP and essential sectors like healthcare in immigration processes.
CRS Score Distribution in the Pool
Understanding the competition in the Express Entry pool can provide insights into the challenges faced by candidates. A recent breakdown as of June 9 indicates varying CRS score distributions and the total number of candidates:
| CRS Score Range | Number of Candidates | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 601-1200 | 102 | -172 |
| 501-600 | 24,823 | +173 |
| 451-500 | 76,090 | +760 |
| 401-450 | 71,668 | +600 |
| 351-400 | 53,926 | +212 |

| 0-300 | 8,339 | +27 |

As seen in the table, the number of candidates with CRS scores between 601-1200 has decreased significantly, while those in the 451-500 range have increased, illustrating a possible influx of applicants. These scores play a pivotal role in determining who receives ITAs during draws.
