Express Entry Draws in July

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

Express Entry Draws - How do they work?

The Express Entry Program is Canada's way of choosing skilled workers for immigration.

It has regular draws where candidates are selected based on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores. To start, you create an online profile and enter information about your Age, Education, Work Experience, and Language Skills. Each of these factors gives you points in the CRS score calculator.

Every few weeks, the Canadian government holds a draw and invites the highest-scoring candidates to apply for Canada PR. If your score is high enough, you get an Invitation to Apply (ITA). After receiving an ITA, you have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence.

The system is fast and efficient, aiming to process applications in six months or less. Regular draws mean you always have a chance to improve your score and get invited in future rounds.
