Frequently asked questions
How does a provincial nomination help in Express Entry?+
Candidates nominated through an Express Entry-aligned provincial stream receive 600 additional CRS points, which in practice leads to an invitation in the next PNP round.
Are provincial scores the same as CRS?+
No. Most provinces rank Expressions of Interest with their own points system (for example the BC PNP SIRS score or AAIP Worker EOI score). Each page labels which score is shown.
Where does this data come from?+
Directly from each province's official program page or published draw history, with a source link on every row. We never estimate missing figures.
