Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has conducted a new Express Entry draw. Candidates from Express Entry’s PNP-specific streams were invited. This was the eighth invitation round conducted by the department in July.

If you’ve been invited in this latest Express Entry draw, you will have 60 days to submit a complete permanent residency (PR) application to the IRCC.

Latest Express Entry Draw - Results

The latest Express Entry draw held on July 30, 2024, saw invitations being issued to 964 candidates under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams. Invited candidates required a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 686 to be eligible.

Type of draw: Provincial Nominee Program

• Number of invitations issued: 964
• Rank required to be invited to apply: 964 or above
• Date and time of round: July 30, 2024, at 15:25:21 UTC
• CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited: 686

If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the CRS score cut-off will be based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.

Express Entry draws have followed an unusual pattern in 2024. Usually, IRCC conducts Express Entry draws every two weeks - on a Wednesday. This has made it difficult to predict exactly when the next draw will occur.

In July, IRCC has so far conducted eight Express Entry draws in July, inviting a total of 20,125 candidates to apply for permanent residency. The same trend of issuing more invitations with lower CRS scores is expected to be carried out throughout 2024.

Types of 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.
