Express Entry Draw History

Every round we publish records the draw number, date, category, CRS cut-off and invitations issued, checked against IRCC's official rounds of invitations data. Automatically synced from IRCC on October 9, 2026.

Express Entry draw history in brief

Express Entry draws are rounds in which IRCC invites the highest-ranked candidates to apply for permanent residence. Each round has a type — general, Canadian Experience Class, French-language, category-based or PNP-only — and its own CRS cut-off. The table below lists every published round with its date, type, cut-off and invitations, so you can compare your score with rounds that match your profile.

How this tracker works

  1. 1. Retrieval — a scheduled job reads IRCC's official rounds-of-invitations data feed every day and records any new round automatically.
  2. 2. Validation — each record needs a draw number, date, category, cut-off and invitation count before it is published.
  3. 3. Storage — every round is stored with its source and sync timestamp; if a sync ever fails, the last verified dataset stays on the page.
