Full Details of the Second Express Entry Draw Of April 2026<\/span><\/h2>\n

During this most recent Canada Express Entry draw, IRCC selected 324 applicants who have been provincially nominated. The minimum CRS score required was 786, an average score for PNP-related draws since an extra 600 CRS points are granted to those applicants who have received a provincial nomination.<\/p>\n

Applicants whose CRS scores stood at 786 were only called if their profiles had already been entered before this particular time.<\/p>\n

The present draw makes it the sixth PNP-related draw of 2026. PNP draws are considered as one of the most secure ways to obtain Canada PR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What This Draw Means for Candidates<\/span><\/h3>\n

The latest April 13 Express Entry draw indicates that nominees have the highest probability of getting an ITA. Without a nomination, applicants should expect tough competition during PNP-specific draws.<\/p>\n

What Happens After Receiving an ITA<\/span><\/h3>\n

Individuals who get Invitation to Apply (ITA) will have a period of 60 days to prepare and submit all relevant documentation related to their application for Permanent Residence in Canada.<\/p>\n\n
