Where 2026 CRS Cutoffs Land, by Draw Type

Each dot is one draw. A cutoff only means something next to draws of the same type: a PNP cutoff in the 700s includes the 600 nomination points, while a physicians round can clear below 200.

How draws work

Reading Express Entry Draw Results

01

Three kinds of rounds

General rounds rank everyone in the pool by CRS. Program-specific rounds invite only one program, such as CEC or provincial nominees. Category-based rounds invite candidates in a category IRCC sets, such as French language proficiency or healthcare.

02

Why cutoffs differ so much

Each round only competes against eligible candidates. A provincial nomination adds 600 points, so PNP cutoffs sit in the 700s, while small categories with few eligible candidates can clear far lower.

03

The tie-breaking rule

When several candidates share the cutoff score, IRCC invites those who submitted their profile earliest. Each round publishes a tie-break date and time.

04

An invitation is not PR

An Invitation to Apply lets you submit a full permanent residence application. IRCC still assesses that application before any decision.

Where does your score fit?

Calculate your CRS score, then compare it with recent draws of the type you qualify for.

Talk to our RCIC
When was the latest Express Entry draw?
The latest draw was #452 on October 27, 2026. It was a French language proficiency round that invited 5,000 candidates with a minimum CRS score of 407.
How often are Express Entry draws held?
In 2026, IRCC has held 64 draws so far, about one every 5 days. Draws often come in clusters, for example a PNP round followed by a CEC or category-based round in the same week.
What was the lowest CRS cutoff ever?
CRS 75, in draw #176 on February 13, 2021, when IRCC invited 27,332 Canadian Experience Class candidates.
Why is the PNP cutoff so much higher than other draws?
A provincial or territorial nomination adds 600 points to a candidate’s CRS score, so PNP cutoffs usually sit in the 700s. Without those 600 points, the underlying scores are much lower.
Are Express Entry PNP draws the same as BC PNP draws?
No. Express Entry PNP draws are run by IRCC and invite candidates who already hold a provincial nomination. BC PNP runs its own separate invitation rounds for its Skills Immigration streams.
Does an Invitation to Apply guarantee permanent residence?
No. An invitation lets you submit a complete permanent residence application. IRCC reviews that application, including documents and admissibility, before making a decision.
