Express Entry Draw – Rounds of Invitations 2022
Updated January 19, 2022
Canada conducts Express Entry draw every two weeks and invites applicants to immigrate to Canada.
All candidates in the Express Entry pool are ranked using a points-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Canada selects the highest-ranking candidates or candidates that meet the local labour demand from the pool and invites them to apply for permanent residence.
Each invitation round has a set of instructions that include:
- the date and time of the invitation round along with tie details
- the number of candidates that will get an invitation to apply in each draw
- which immigration program(s) are included in the round (some invitation rounds may only invite candidates for 1 program, for example only from Canadian Experience Class or the Federal Skilled Trades)
Candidates can check their score and then use this information to see how likely they are to get an invitation in the next round.

If it’s an all program draw, then the Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) cutoff may be above 480 points. If Canada continues with CEC and PNP draw, the CRS cut-off for CEC draw may hover between 420 and 450 points while for PNP draw, the CRS cut-off may be between 740 and 770.
