Who these draws invite

General rounds invite the top-ranking candidates in the pool who are eligible for one of the three programs Express Entry manages: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Canadian Experience Class. Candidates with a provincial or territorial nomination are invited through general rounds too. IRCC labels older general rounds "No Program Specified". IRCC: Express Entry rounds of invitations

IRCC's round names for this group have changed over time. This page counts all of them: “General”, “No Program Specified”.

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.
