Express Entry draws are typically held every two weeks, although the frequency can vary depending on Canada’s immigration targets and priorities. The government conducts different types of draws: general draws, which include all candidates; program-specific draws, for streams like Provincial Nominee Program (PNP); and category-based draws, targeting skills in demand such as healthcare, STEM, transport, or French proficiency. Each draw has a published CRS cut-off score and number of invitations issued. Keeping your profile updated and monitoring Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announcements ensures you don’t miss opportunities.
