Compare your score with these draws

The CRS calculator now shows how your score compares with the last 10 draws of each type: how often you would have been above the cut-off in Canadian Experience Class, French-language and Provincial Nominee Program draws, and how far you are from the latest cut-off in each occupation category.

How Express Entry draws work

In each round of invitations, IRCC sets which candidates are eligible (a program, a category, or everyone in the pool) and how many invitations it will send. It then invites the highest-ranked eligible candidates by CRS score. The score of the last person invited becomes that round's cut-off.

• Program draws invite candidates who qualify for one program, such as the Canadian Experience Class.
• Provincial Nominee Program draws invite candidates with a provincial nomination.
• Category-based draws invite candidates with strong French skills or recent work experience in a targeted occupation group, such as healthcare, trades or transport. Their cut-offs are often lower than program draws.

There were no all-program draws in the rounds listed on this page. Candidates without Canadian work experience, French or a nomination have mostly relied on category-based draws or a provincial nomination.

Rule changes on 3 November 2026

From 3 November 2026, IRCC adds points for job offers and Canadian work experience in high-wage occupations. IRCC has said it will pause invitation rounds while it recalculates profiles, which could take up to two weeks. Cut-offs after the change may not be comparable with earlier ones. We will mark the change in the table.
