Express Entry draws are paused: day 11 of the recalculation

IRCC paused invitation rounds on November 3, 2026 while it recalculates every profile under the new CRS rules. The last round was #453 (Transport) on October 28, 2026, with a cut-off of 477.

Day 11 of up to 14, by IRCC's own estimate

Remind me at IRCC's two-week mark:Apple or OutlookGoogle Calendar

IRCC is recalculating the score of every profile in the pool. If you have a valid job offer you haven't added yet, IRCC says you should update your profile.

IRCC said the recalculation could take up to two weeks and has not given a restart date. We check IRCC's round list every hour, so a new round shows here within the hour.

Last checked against IRCC's round list: Nov 13, 4:44 AM EST.

The wait, in plain numbers

Done within six months

5 in 10

Of the 6,183 people in the tracker who have finished, 5 in 10 were done within six months of their AOR, and 8 in 10 within a year.

  • Within 6 months
  • 6 to 12 months
  • Longer
1 / 4

Finished means PR confirmation (eCOPR) for people applying from inside Canada, or a passport request (PPR) for people outside it. People still waiting aren't counted yet, so the wait numbers lean toward quicker files.
