Express Entry Draws: Key Updates from IRCC

Eligible Candidates and Processing Delays

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) continues to draw candidates from the Express Entry pool. To be eligible for an invitation through a category-based round, you must meet the minimum criteria for Express Entry. However, it's important to note that IRCC may experience processing issues from time to time, which can postpone Express Entry draws.

Points-Based System

Express Entry candidates are ranked in the pool using a points-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The CRS assigns points based on factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability. The higher your CRS score, the better your chances of receiving an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residency.

Draw Frequency and Timing

Typically, you can expect a new Express Entry draw at least every two weeks. However, the frequency of draws may vary depending on the number of eligible candidates in the pool and other factors that may affect IRCC's processing capacity. Draw dates are usually announced in advance on the IRCC website.

Stay Informed and Monitor Draws

To stay updated on the latest Express Entry draw information, regularly check the IRCC website or sign up for email alerts. By monitoring upcoming draws, you can prepare your application in advance and increase your chances of being invited to apply for Canadian permanent residency.
