Express Entry draws FAQ
What was the latest Express Entry draw?
Round #447 on Oct 1, 2026 — Trades Occupations, 2026-Version 3 — invited 3,500 candidates with a minimum CRS score of 476.
What is the CRS cut-off?
The cut-off is the CRS score of the lowest-ranked candidate invited in a round. If several candidates have that score, IRCC uses the date and time they submitted their profiles as the tie-breaker.
Why are PNP draw cut-offs so high?
Candidates in PNP rounds already have a provincial nomination, which adds 600 points, so their scores are usually 700+.
How many people were invited in the last 12 months?
183,375 invitations in 78 rounds (from Oct 1, 2025 to Oct 1, 2026).
