Canada runs Express Entry draws to invite top-ranked candidates from the pool to apply for permanent residence. In each round, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) sets a CRS cut-off score and issues a fixed number of invitations to apply (ITAs).
This page tracks every Express Entry draw — starting with the most recent round and going all the way back to the first draw in 2015. It updates automatically after each new IRCC round, so the latest cut-off and invitation numbers are always current.
Below is the complete history of Express Entry rounds of invitations. Use the pagination controls to browse older draws — the table covers every round from the most recent back to January 2015.

Express Entry manages applications for three federal economic programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Canadian Experience Class and the Federal Skilled Trades Program. Eligible candidates enter a single pool and receive a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on factors such as age, education, work experience and language ability.
In each draw, IRCC invites the highest-ranked candidates down to a CRS cut-off score. Everyone at or above that score in the eligible group receives an invitation to apply; candidates below it stay in the pool and can be invited in a later round.
IRCC typically holds Express Entry draws about every two weeks, though the schedule can vary. Some periods see more frequent rounds, while others have longer gaps around holidays or program changes. The timing and round type are decided by IRCC and announced on the day of each draw.
Not every draw invites the same candidates. IRCC runs several kinds of rounds:
invite the top-ranked candidates across all Express Entry programs, regardless of occupation.
Program-specific draws target a single program, such as the Canadian Experience Class or the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). PNP draws usually show much higher CRS cut-offs because nominated candidates receive 600 extra points.
Category-based draws target candidates with specific attributes IRCC has prioritised — for example French-language proficiency, or work experience in healthcare, trades, STEM, transport, agriculture or education.
Because cut-offs depend on the round type, a high score in one draw does not mean the same score would be invited in another.
The CRS cut-off is the lowest score that received an invitation in a given draw. It is not a fixed pass mark — it moves from round to round depending on how many invitations IRCC issues and how strong the pool is that day. Category-based and program-specific draws can have very different cut-offs from general draws, so always read the cut-off together with the round type shown in the table above.
The Express Entry pool holds about 248,000 profiles as of mid-October 2025. It’s a competitive space, but diverse. Most candidates score between 400-600 CRS, with around 20,000 above 600—the elite group.
Breaking it down:
This distribution means room for everyone if you play smart. New entries push out inactive profiles after a year, keeping it fresh. Factors like job offers or spousal skills can lift you up. At Ever North, we analyze pool trends to predict your timeline—many clients move up fast with our tweaks.
No one knows the exact date, but patterns help. Draws cluster weekly, with gaps for processing. After October 15’s healthcare pull, expect a PNP or French draw by late October—maybe October 29, with 1,000-2,000 ITAs and cut-offs around 500-700.
For November, watch CEC resumption and more trades invites. IRCC’s 2025-2027 plan cuts PNP spots but boosts in-Canada draws, so CEC could see 80,000 allocations. Category draws might hit 40,000 total, favoring French (lowest barriers).
High demand keeps cut-offs firm, but pauses like CEC’s create openings. Subscribe to Ever North alerts for real-time predictions—we base them on official data, not guesses.
Your CRS score is your ticket in. Max it out to beat the cut-off. Core factors include language (up to 136 points solo, 24 for a second tongue), education (up to 150), and work experience (up to 80 foreign, 80 Canadian). Age peaks at 20-29 (110 points), and adaptability adds 10-60.
But don’t stop there. A valid job offer nets 50-200 points, while PNP nomination jumps you by 600—almost a sure ITA. Update your profile anytime; IRCC re-scores automatically.
Here are practical ways to raise your score without starting over:
Aim for CLB 9+ on IELTS—retake if needed. It doubles points for education and work combos, adding 20-50 easily.
Work here on a permit? One year in TEER 0-3 jobs gives 40-80 points. Ever North connects you to bridging programs.
Network via LinkedIn or our partners. TEER 0 offers score highest; even junior roles help.
An extra credential, like a one-year diploma, can add 15-25 points if paired with strong language.
These steps turned a 420-score client of ours into a 510 last month—landing an ITA in the next CEC draw. Small changes yield big wins.
Navigating Express Entry draws solo can feel overwhelming—deadlines, documents, scores. That’s where we shine. As a trusted Canada immigration consultant, Ever North offers personalized guidance from profile creation to PR approval. Our regulated experts know the latest rules, like 2025 category shifts.

When applicants join the Express Entry system, they are assigned a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. During Express Entry draws, candidates with the highest CRS scores receive Invitations to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). At Immigration to Canada, we provide insights into maximizing your CRS score.
The CRS cut-off is determined by the number of ITAs that IRCC intends to issue in a given draw. They invite the top-ranking candidates starting from the highest CRS scores and working down until they reach the desired number of applicants. The lowest CRS score among those invited becomes the cut-off for that draw.
Your CRS score is calculated based on factors such as skills, work experience, language proficiency, education, and other criteria. At Immigration to Canada, we offer tools and guidance to help you understand your score and improve it where possible.
IRCC does not pre-announce the dates of upcoming Express Entry draws, making it challenging to predict. However, there are patterns based on historical draw schedules. Stay updated by visiting Immigration to Canada—we provide insights on potential draw timing.
The frequency of Express Entry draws has become less predictable, especially with the introduction of category-based draws. IRCC may conduct several draws within a week, often following a pattern of one week with draws and one week without. For timely notifications, rely on resources from Immigration to Canada.
The timing of Express Entry draws varies, but they are typically held in the afternoon, using universal time. For the latest updates, you can follow Immigration to Canada’s announcements.
There is no minimum CRS score required to enter the Express Entry pool. Anyone eligible for one of the Express Entry-aligned programs can join the pool, regardless of their CRS. However, the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSW) requires applicants to score at least 67 points on its eligibility grid.
CRS cut-off scores for Permanent Residence depend on the specific draw. While general program draws may have cut-offs around 500, category-specific draws can have significantly lower cut-offs. For example, French-speaking candidates might be invited with scores as low as 336.
