Big News! More PR Spots for Express Entry in 2025 – Increased Opportunities for Candidates in Canada


Canada’s 2025 Immigration Levels Plan will create more PR opportunities for Express Entry candidates, prioritizing those already in Canada and those eligible for category-based draws in high-demand fields.


Key Changes:


  • Increased PR Allocations for Express Entry
    Canada is raising PR targets under Express Entry from 110,770 (2024) to 124,680 in 2025, focusing on “In-Canada Focus” and “Federal Economic Priorities”. These changes mean higher chances of ITA (Invitation to Apply) for candidates residing in Canada.


  • New Priority for Candidates in Canada
    The new In-Canada Focus category dedicates 82,980 PR spots (42% of Canada’s economic immigration goals) to those already in Canada. This prioritization makes it more likely that current residents will receive ITAs for PR in 2025.


  • Category-Based Draws to Address Skill Needs
    IRCC will issue targeted ITAs to candidates with skills in high-demand areas, including:

    • French-Language Proficiency
    • Healthcare Occupations
    • Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
    • Trade Occupations
    • Transport Occupations
    • Agriculture and Agri-Food

    These categories align immigration with Canada’s economic needs, giving applicants in these fields a stronger chance for PR. To qualify, candidates need six months of recent work experience in an eligible category.


How This Affects You:


Express Entry applicants in Canada and those skilled in prioritized fields will see an increased likelihood of ITAs in 2025. This streamlined focus on category-based draws helps meet critical labor demands across key industries.
