Who was invited in this draw?

This was a Provincial Nominee Program draw under Express Entry.

To be invited, candidates needed a valid provincial nomination linked to their Express Entry profile. A provincial nomination adds 600 CRS points, which often places a candidate well above the normal cut-off range.
