    About Express Entry draws:

    This marks September’s first Express Entry draw, following an active summer period. July and August saw 14 separate draws, with July alone setting a record for the highest number of monthly draws since the system’s launch in 2015, featuring nine draws between July 2 and July 31.
    The previous draw occurred on August 27, inviting 3,330 candidates under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program.
    IRCC has adopted a pattern of holding multiple draws every two weeks, typically including at least one PNP-focused round. This aligns with their recent commitment to prioritize “domestic” draws, increasing opportunities for temporary residents to transition to permanent residency while managing the number of temporary residents entering Canada.

    Express Entry Draw Reports

    What is Express Entry?

    Express Entry is an online application management system launched by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in 2015. Its purpose is to streamline the selection process for economic immigrants with high-demand skills and qualifications. It manages three key immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Canadian Experience Class, and the Federal Skilled Trades Program.
    At the heart of the system is the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which evaluates candidates based on factors such as language proficiency, work experience, education, job skills, and age. These criteria are used to generate a total score, with higher-scoring candidates being more likely to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
    Express Entry candidates may also apply through Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams that are linked to Express Entry, a process known as enhanced nomination. A nomination from a province gives candidates an additional 600 CRS points, making it almost certain they will receive an ITA in a future draw, depending on the type of draw conducted.
    In 2023, IRCC introduced category-based selection draws, targeting candidates with specific, in-demand skills and experience. These draws do not require candidates to belong to anyone Express Entry program, though they must still be part of the Express Entry pool. The CRS cutoff for these draws is often lower than those for general or program-specific draws.

    The six priority categories are:

    • Healthcare occupations
    • Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields
    • Trades occupations, such as carpenters, plumbers, and contractors
    • Transportation jobs
    • Agriculture and agri-food occupations
    • French-language proficiency
    IRCC reviews these categories annually, indicating that they may evolve over time as labor market needs and demographic trends shift.
