Rounds of Invitations (Draw)

A round of invitations (a 'draw') is a scheduled event where IRCC invites every candidate at or above a chosen minimum CRS score to apply for PR.

IRCC typically draws roughly every 2 weeks; since 2023 most rounds are CEC, PNP, or category-based — no general round since April 2024. Each publishes draw number, date, program, CRS cut-off, and invitations issued.
