Last month, IRCC invited a total of 25,125 candidates across nine Express Entry draws. As of 2024, IRCC is conducting three types of draws under the Express Entry Program.

• General Express Entry draws: In general Express Entry draws, IRCC selects candidates from the pool who qualify for one of the three streams under the Express Entry Program.

• Program-specific Express Entry draws: In program-specific Express Entry draws, IRCC picks candidates eligible for a particular stream associated with a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

• Category-based Express Entry draws: In category-based Express Entry draws, IRCC chooses candidates by setting a category to achieve a specific economic goal.

Your chances of receiving an invitation to the upcoming Express Entry draws will entirely depend on your CRS score. The higher your score, the more your chances of gaining Canadian permanent residency.
