What is a PNP Draw ?
PNP draws are specifically for candidates who have received the nomination from a Canadian province or Territory. With the nomination, applicants receive 600 additional CRS points, significantly boosting the CRS score.
If you are looking to improve your CRS score for ITA under Express Entry you should explore the EE PNP options, this will boost your CRS by 600 points making you eligible for next EE PNP Draw.
What to do after getting ITA?
Accept your ITA via your IRCC account. Gather all of your documents and submit the application. Once submitted, IRCC will issue an AOR confirming they’ve received your application. If your work permit is expiring you can go for BOWP at the same time you wait for your COPR.
