Canada’s Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws have been active throughout November, reflecting the first full month under the new 2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan. With PR targets stabilized at 380,000 annually and a strong focus on economic immigration (239,800 spots), draws remain highly category-focused, favouring in-Canada experience, French proficiency, and high-demand occupations.
At Worldbridge, we track every draw in real-time to help clients maximize their CRS scores and secure nominations. Here are the most recent draws (November 1 – November 21, 2025):

Key Trends to Watch
No General/All-Program Draws in 2025 – all are category or PNP-linked. French Proficiency remains the easiest route (CRS as low as 428). In-Canada CEC draws are smaller but with higher cut-offs (530+). PNP nominations = +600 CRS points → almost guaranteed invitation.
What This Means for You
If your CRS is 450–510, target category-based draws (French, healthcare, trades). If you have provincial ties (work, study, job offer), PNP is often faster than waiting for federal Express Entry.
