The latest Express Entry draw (#311) was held on 26th August, 2024, Monday. This was a provincial nominee draw which issued 1,121 Invitations to Apply (ITA) to candidates with at least 694 CRS score. IRCC conducted this draw at 14:46:49 UTC.
Invited candidates have 60 days to apply for Canadian permanent residency or their ITA will become invalid.
Since it was a Provincial Nominee Program specific draw, invited candidates can only apply through the PNP pathway and no other pathway. This means, a candidate cannot apply via the Federal Skilled Trades Program, Federal Skilled Worker Program, or Canadian Experience Class.

Express Entry Draw Prediction – 27 August 2024
Talent Connected Worldwide predicts that IRCC should hold the next draw on 27th August 2024. We are also predicting that in this week, IRCC should conduct 4 more draws on 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th August.
We can predict this because Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has been conducting draws on an 11, 12 or 13 day gap basis.
