Express Entry Next Draw Prediction – Next Date Revealed!

The Express Entry next draw prediction is – Wednesday, December 11, 2024.

Recently, IRCC conducted a program-based draw for candidates with a provincial nomination. Given the previous pattern, IRCC may follow a similar approach and announce a program-based draw on December 04, particularly since the recent draws have already focused on PNP and CEC applicants.

If you get an ITA in the next Express Entry draw, you can immigrate to Canada as a permanent resident by applying for a PR visa.

Please note: The dates of the Express Entry draws are never officially announced in advance. This blog about the Express Entry next draw prediction is just an expert estimation of when the next draws might be announced so that you never miss an update and are always prepared.

New Trend of Express Entry Draws

While there isn’t a fixed schedule for Express Entry draws, most are typically announced in the second half of the week. As shown in the table below, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are common days for these invitations. However, recent draws have also been held on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Since the first draw of this month, IRCC has begun following a new pattern. It goes something like this – first a PNP-specific draw is held, then a CEC one, and after that a category-based. You may see that this pattern is repeated once again.

Date	Round type	Invitations issued	CRS cut-off
20-Nov-24	Healthcare Category	3,000	463
19-Nov-24	Canadian Experience Class	400	539
18-Nov-24	Provincial Nominee Program	174	816
15-Nov-24	French language proficiency	800	478
13-Nov-24	Canadian Experience Class	400	547
12-Nov-24	Provincial Nominee Program	733	812

Express Entry Next Draw Prediction: Which type of draw will be announced next?

The Express Entry next draw prediction is that it will most likely be a category-based selection.

This is because IRCC has already announced program-specific draws for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

There are three types of rounds of invitations:

1. General Draw: Under a General draw, eligible candidates are selected from the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). 
2. Program-specific Draw: As the name suggests, under a program-specific draw, candidates are invited from a particular program only. 
3. Category-based Draws: Category-based selections invite candidates from six in-demand categories – French-speaking category, STEM Occupations, Healthcare Occupations, Trade Occupations, Transport Occupations, and Agri-food and Agriculture occupations category. 

Canada is currently prioritizing applicants who have Canadian work experience or a provincial nomination from one of its provinces. In addition to this, IRCC is consistently inviting Express Entry candidates who are Francophones or possess work experience in high-demand occupations.

Next CEC Draw Prediction 2024

IRCC might conduct the next CEC Express Entry draw on 03rd December, 2024.

We have predicted this date based on the previously held draws. IRCC mostly took about 13 or 14 days between each CEC-specific Express Entry draw. However, there is absolutely no pattern between the draws whatsoever, and hence, it becomes quite hard to predict the next CEC draw.

All the previously conducted Express Entry draws conducted so far in this year are:

Date	Invitations issued	CRS cut-off
19-Nov-24	400	539
13-Nov-24	400	547
23-Oct-24	400	539
9-Oct-24	500	539
19-Sep-24	4,000	509
27-Aug-24	3,300	507
14-Aug-24	3,200	509
31-Jul-24	5,000	510
17-Jul-24	6,300	515
31-May-24	3,000	522

Next Express Entry Draw Prediction FSW

After that, there’s been no announcement or indication from IRCC about if or when will the next FSW-specific Express Entry draw would be held. However, rest assured, you will get the news from our side as soon as a new draw takes place.
