Express Entry Draw Tracker

IRCC typically conducts Express Entry draws every 1-2 weeks. The frequency can vary based on immigration targets and program-specific draws. In 2026, IRCC aims to issue approximately 395,000 invitations across all programs.

A competitive CRS score varies by draw type. General draws typically require 470-490+, while category-based draws (healthcare, French, trades) often have lower cut-offs ranging from 380-470. Provincial Nominee Program draws require 700+ due to the automatic 600-point boost.

Category-based draws target specific occupations or language skills, including healthcare workers, STEM professionals, French speakers, trades workers, transport occupations, and agriculture/agri-food workers. These draws often have lower CRS cut-offs than general draws.

IRCC publishes draw results on their website within days of each draw. Our draw tracker provides a comprehensive history of all draws including draw numbers, dates, programs, CRS cut-offs, and number of ITAs issued.

After receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA), you have 60 days to submit a complete permanent residence application with all supporting documents. IRCC aims to process most applications within 6 months.
