  Express Entry: New PNP draw invites 266 candidates The CRS requirement in the new invitation round was 25 points lower than the previous PNP-only draw. Canada invited 266 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence on April 2021. In order to be invited in this draw, candidates needed a score of 753.
