When is the next draw?
IRCC doesn't publish draw dates or say in advance which program or category the next draw will target. Since November 3, 2026, rounds are paused while IRCC recalculates every profile under the new points rules, which it says could take up to 2 weeks. How draws have been spaced this year.
Draws before November 3, 2026 ranked candidates under an earlier points grid, so older cut-offs are not directly comparable with newer ones.
