Express Entry Draw Results 2024 : Latest Invitations to Apply (2023-2024) : An Express Entry draw is a process by which the Canadian government invites eligible candidates from the Express Entry pool to apply for permanent residence in Canada. The government conducts draws approximately every two weeks, and the number of invitations issued varies depending on the needs of the Canadian economy.
To be eligible for an Express Entry draw, candidates must have a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score that meets or exceeds the cut-off score for the draw. The CRS is a points-based system that assesses candidates’ skills, work experience, education, language ability, and other factors.
Candidates who are invited to apply for permanent residence have 60 days to submit an online application. If their application is successful, they will be granted permanent resident status and will be able to live and work in Canada permanently.

Overview of Express Entry
Express Entry is an online system that the Canadian government uses to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers. It is the fastest and most popular pathway to permanent residence for immigrants seeking a new life in Canada.
To be eligible for Express Entry, you must meet certain criteria, including:
- Having a valid job offer from a Canadian employer (not required for all programs)
- Meeting the minimum language requirements (English or French)
- Having at least one year of skilled work experience in the last 10 years
- Having a valid educational credential that is equivalent to a Canadian high school diploma or higher
If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can create an Express Entry profile and enter the pool of candidates. Your profile will be ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which considers factors such as your age, education, work experience, language skills, and whether you have a job offer or a provincial nomination.
The highest-ranked candidates in the pool are invited to apply for permanent residence on a regular basis. These invitations are issued through rounds of invitations (ROIs). The CRS cut-off score for each ROI varies depending on the number of invitations that the government is issuing.
If you are invited to apply for permanent residence, you will have 60 days to submit an online application. The government will process your application and make a decision on whether to grant you permanent residence within six months.
