Canada Express Entry Draw History & CRS Cut-Off Tracker

Explore every IRCC round of invitations, compare CRS cut-offs across general and category-based draws, and understand how many invitations to apply were issued in each Express Entry selection.

Understanding Express Entry rounds

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issues invitations to apply for permanent residence through Express Entry rounds. Each draw lists the round number, date, draw type (general, program-specific, or category-based), total invitations, and the minimum CRS score required to receive an invitation.

Monitoring draw history helps you benchmark your CRS profile. Pair this data with the CRS pool distribution tool to see how many candidates sit near each cut-off and how competitive the pool is before upcoming rounds.
