Canada Express Entry Draw July 20: Official Highlights.
- Draws were made for only three immigration programs: FSW, FST, and CEC.
- IRCC invited only 1,750 candidates in this draw, still a low number compared to what ITAs used to be like.
- A CRS cut-off point of 542 was used. The July 20 CRS score is 5 points lower than the previous draw conducted on July 6, which invited 1,500 eligible applicants.
- Usually, it takes about 24hrs from the time invitation draws are announced to receive ITA email from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). If you are yet to get an email, please be patient and check your express entry account within another 24hrs.
Why is the Number of ITAs Low in Express Entry?
Recall that IRCC historically issued a higher number of invitations before the pandemic. In fact, draws are made with between 3,000 to 5000 ITAs.
The invitations for July 6th and that of today, July 20th, are by far less than the historic numbers for the following possible reasons stated below:
- The immigration body is working on a backlog of applications generated since the pandemic.
- Reduction of the target for express entry invitation for foreign-trained professionals. IRCC, at some point, prioritized invitations for immigrants that are present in Canada.
- Some people also speculate that the reduced number of ITAs issued resulted from IRCC shifting priority to newer immigration programs.
Who is in the Express Entry Pool?
As of July 18, 2023, Canada has 239,631 candidates in the Express Entry Pool. The graph below shows the distribution of profiles of active applicants in the pool before today’s draw.
It is possible to improve your CRS score. One such possibility is by getting a higher score in Languages Test exams. Read our latest IELTS score bumper guide here.

Twice a month, the Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invite eligible candidates to apply for permanent residency. These invitations are most often referred to as Express Entry Draws. This page focuses on the latest express entry draws, historical invitations, the composition of the pool, and other key information.
Canada Express Entry draw pool was introduced in 2015 for foreign workers who want to live permanently and work in Canada. This program is organized in three ways:
Rounds of Invitations
All rounds of invitation in Canada’s permanent residency policies are based on criteria set out in the Comprehensive Ranking System, some of which include:-
- Candidate’s age at the time profile was created.
- Candidate’s level of education.
- Candidate’s previous work experience.
- Candidate’s language skills (English and French).
- Whether or not the candidate has a job offer in Canada.
- Perceived adaptability to live in Canada.
Candidates that meet the requirements for any of these programs can apply for permanent residency in Canada through the program they qualified for. Candidates that want to be considered for Canada express entry draw must first create an Express Entry profile to enter the pool of candidates for subsequent draws.
Also, all Canada Express Entry draw profiles are ranked against one another; this is achieved through the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The candidates with the highest scores will qualify for the next pool.
What to do if you’re not invited to apply?
Your express entry profile will expire automatically if you don’t get an invitation to apply after 12 months. So, you must be called for the Canada Express entry draw if you qualify after 12 months. You can see this date in your account.
The IRCC will remove the account once it expires. After removing the account, they will send you a reminder message.
However, you can create a new Canada Express entry draw account. Also, if your profile is about to expire, you can print out screenshots of your profile to make it easier to re-enter your data.
When Is the Next Express Entry Draw Date?
Normally, a Canada express entry occurs every two weeks on a Wednesday. However, there are situations where a PNP draw will occur on a Wednesday. In such cases, the Canada express entry draw will take place the following day, Thursday.
What is Federal express entry?
Federal express entry is the Canadian government immigration program that targets special candidates for Canadian permanent residence. The programs include:
- Canada Experience Class.
- Federal Skilled Worker program.
- Federal Skilled Trades Program.
