WHICH GROUP DO THE FINAL DRAWS OF THE EXPRESS ENTRY PROGRAM IN NOVEMBER 2025 BELONG TO?
The two most important draws at the end of November took place, sending a clear signal about Canada's immigration strategy!
1️. Canadian Experience Class (CEC):
- Withdrawal date: 11/26/2025
- ITA slot: 1,000
- CRS Score: 531
A score of 531 is in the mid-range, and the fact that IRCC continues to hold separate draws for the CEC group shows that they are prioritizing people who already have work experience and adaptation in Canada.
If you are working in Canada, maximize your CRS points by improving your English/French CLB (especially French) and check if your work experience can be applied to occupation-specific draws.
2. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) Group:
- Withdrawal date: 25/11/2025
- ITA slot: 777
- CRS Score: 699
A score of 699 is the standard score for PNP rounds (the score has decreased compared to the draw before November 10, 2025). The CRS score for the PNP group is usually quite high because all candidates who have been nominated by the province receive an additional fixed 600 points.
Overall, this continues to be the most stable and effective path for those who may not score high in the General/CEC draw. If you have skills/professions that match the needs of a specific province (such as Ontario, British Columbia, or Alberta), focus on applying for a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
