This comprehensive page provides you with every Express Entry draw result since Express Entry launched in January 2015. Express Entry draws usually take place approximately every two weeks. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) draws candidates from the Express Entry pool and invites them to apply for Canadian permanent resident status. Scroll down to see the latest draw results.
Overview of Express Entry
Express Entry is not an immigration program in itself, but rather a system used by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to select candidates for immigration to Canada using the following economic immigration programs:
- Federal Skilled Worker
- Federal Skilled Trades
- Canadian Experience Class
- a portion of the Provincial Nominee Programs
Express Entry draws will either be:
- general, in which case candidates eligible for any federal economic immigration program may be selected based solely on their CRS score; or
- program-specific, in which case the government of Canada will select candidates for just one of the federal economic immigration programs.
