Common questions
- How many CRS points is a nomination from Northwest Territories worth?
- A provincial nomination adds 600 points to your Comprehensive Ranking System score. It is decisive for almost everyone — though provincial-nominee rounds have cut as high as 902, so a very low base score can still fall short.
- Can you apply to a PNP stream in Northwest Territories without a job offer?
- Every PNP stream in Northwest Territories open at the moment requires a job offer from an employer in the province.
- What CRS score do PNP rounds cut off at?
- Provincial-nominee rounds cut off far higher than general ones because everyone in them already has the 600-point nomination. The most recent, on 14 September 2026, cut off at CRS 734.
