Latest Express Entry Draw Results and Cut-Off Scores

Why Draw Results Matter

IRCC holds Express Entry draws roughly every two weeks, inviting the highest-ranked candidates in the pool to apply for permanent residence. Each draw has a cut-off score—the lowest CRS score that received an Invitation to Apply (ITA). If your score is at or above the cut-off, you'll be invited. Tracking draw results helps you understand trends: Are cut-offs rising or falling? Are category-based draws (healthcare, STEM, trades) happening more often? This information helps you decide whether to wait for a general draw, improve your score, or pursue a provincial nomination.

What Each Draw Includes

Draw results typically include: the date of the draw, which program(s) were included (all-program, FSW-only, CEC-only, PNP, or category-based), the lowest CRS score invited, the number of ITAs issued, and the tie-breaking rule timestamp. Category-based draws may also specify the occupation category (e.g., healthcare, STEM, French-speaking). Understanding these details helps you interpret whether a particular draw applies to your profile.

Where to Find Official Results

IRCC publishes official draw results on its website under the Express Entry section. You can also subscribe to IRCC news releases or follow reputable immigration consultants and news sites that summarize draw results. Always verify information against IRCC's official sources, as draw frequency and cut-offs can change with government priorities and application volumes.
