Previous Rounds of Invitations Under Express Entry
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) regularly publishes results of previous rounds of invitations. Reviewing those results helps applicants track CRS trends, identify the frequency of Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws, and prepare for upcoming invitations. You can view official data directly on the IRCC Express Entry rounds of invitations page.
How The Rounds of Invitations Work in Express Entry
Express Entry manages applications for skilled workers seeking permanent residence in Canada. IRCC holds rounds throughout the year, inviting top-ranking candidates in the pool based on CRS scores. When multiple candidates have the same score as the cut-off, IRCC applies a tie-breaking rule based on the date and time the Express Entry profile was submitted.
Types of Rounds of Invitations
IRCC conducts different types of Express Entry draws:
- General rounds: Invite top-ranking candidates across all programs.
- Program-specific rounds: Invite candidates eligible for a particular program, such as the PNP.
- Category-based rounds: Invite candidates who meet specific labour market or language-based categories.
