As of September, a total of 49,628 ITAs have been issued through the Express Entry system in 2025. The majority of the draws this year have focused on PNP draws, with a few dedicated to the CEC, French-language proficiency, and the Education stream. The province with the most PNP candidates nominated for the Express Entry system between June 10 and April 23, 2025, is not explicitly stated. However, data indicates that economic immigrants settling outside Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia have increased, suggesting that these provinces issue significant nominations.
The Express Entry system does not provide a new minimum CRS score for today's draw, and the deadline for candidate profile creation is not specified. The remainder of Express Entry ITAs have been dedicated to CEC candidates, candidates with French-language proficiency, and those in the Express Entry priority occupation categories.
