Next Express Entry Draw Prediction

Watching the Express Entry pool and wondering when the next draw drops—and what cut-off score it will land at?

IRCC holds Express Entry draws roughly every two weeks, but the exact date, draw type, and CRS cut-off are never announced in advance. The predictions on this page are built from the only data that actually matters: historical draw frequency, how fast the pool refills between rounds, which categories IRCC has been targeting, and how many ITAs the last several draws issued.

No prediction is guaranteed — IRCC can pause draws, shift to category-based rounds, or change draw sizes without notice. What a good prediction does is give you a realistic range so you know whether to sit tight, push on a language retest, or explore a provincial nomination before the next round.

Each prediction post on this page covers the expected draw date window; the projected CRS cut-off range; which draw type is most likely—general pool, Canadian Experience Class, or a specific category such as French-language, healthcare, or trades; and what the pattern of recent draws suggests about where cut-offs are heading.

If you do not know your current CRS score, start there before reading the predictions. The cut-off only matters relative to where you stand.

Use the CRS Score Calculator to calculate your exact score, then check the latest Express Entry draw results to see what the most recent cut-off was. If your score is close to the predicted range, a free immigration assessment can help you decide whether to wait or act now.
