How draws work
How Express Entry draws work
In each draw (a round of invitations), IRCC invites the highest-ranked candidates in the pool to apply for permanent residence. The cut-off is the lowest CRS score that was invited.
Some draws are open to one program, like the Canadian Experience Class or the Provincial Nominee Program. Others are category-based: only people in that category can be invited, for example French-language proficiency, which needs NCLC 7 or higher in all four French skills.
Cut-offs change with every draw. Use them as a guide, not a promise. Calculate your CRS score, check if you meet NCLC 7, or read the French for Express Entry guide.
