Canada Next Draw Prediction

When will the next Express Entry draw take place?

The last Express Entry draw was #428 on July 21, 2026. The 428th draw offered 2000 ITAs to those with a CRS score of 516. This draw was a PNP-specific draw.

Prediction of the date of the next Express Entry draw: the next Express Entry draw will take place on March 2, 2022. Due to the coronavirus / COVID-19, many things in Canada regarding immigration can be unpredictable, but we assume that the next date will be two weeks after the previous one.

Canada has targeted to admit 108,500 new permanent residents in 2021 through their immigration program– Express Entry. In 2022, this target was reduced to 55,900. It will increase to 75,750 in 2023, before eventually reaching a record high of 111,500 by 2024. Although this is a slow time for Express Entry, once the backlogs are resolved, it looks like Express Entry will come back up.

However, there is a chance that the CRS score thresholds will decrease to meet the goal of admitting more immigrants according to the three-year immigration plan of the Canadian government (2024, 2025, and 2026). According to the three-year immigration plan, the government wants to increase the admission rate of skilled immigrants across its various immigration categories. 

To meet the goal of the three-year immigration plan, IRCC must run more frequent express draws or large express draws, which in turn may lower the minimum CRS score required for the Canada PR visa process.

How to apply for a Canada PR Visa with a low CRS score?

What if you have a low CRS score? Not being able to meet the high requirements of the Federal Express Entry Program, other ways can help you apply for a PR visa with a low CRS score.

Following are two ways through which you can apply for a Canada PR Visa with a low CRS score:

• Obtain Provincial Nomination Certificate: For an Express Entry candidate to get a Provincial Nomination Certificate, it can earn them a significant increase of 600 CRS (Full Ranking System) points. These many points effectively ensure that the candidate can obtain an ITA and apply for a PR visa. Some PNPs invited applicants with low CRS scores, such as the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) invited express entry applicants with a CRS score as low as 300 points.
• Get a job offer: If the candidate can obtain a pre-established job offer for a qualified full-time job, he can award these CRS points ranging from 50 to 200 CRS points according to the NOC (National Classification of occupations) skill level of occupation. Here is the list of occupations in Canada that can allow you to obtain a maximum of 200 CRS points for a pre-established job offer:
• • Legislators (NOC code 0011)
  • Senior officials, managers, and officials (NOC code 0012)
