The most recent round at a glance: the cut-off score, how it moved, and how many were invited. One draw is a snapshot, not a trend; the shape across many rounds tells you far more than any single number.
CRS score cutoff by stream, last 24 months
Each line is one stream · minimum CRS score per invitation round, not a count of applicants
This is the line to watch if you’re building your score. It shows where the bar actually landed each round, so you can see whether it’s drifting up, easing down, or holding steady in your stream.
Each point is the minimum CRS score that received an Invitation to Apply in that draw. Scores are not counts of candidates; a single-point rise or fall in the cutoff can represent tens of thousands of candidates becoming eligible or ineligible. Drops usually mean IRCC is drawing a larger pool; rises mean the pool is smaller or the target invitation count is lower. Hover any point to see the draw date, stream, score, and invitation size.
2026 ITAs by stream
Each stream’s share of this year’s 129,715 invitations.
Which streams IRCC has actually been inviting from this year. A bigger slice means more invitations went there, and the mix shifts as IRCC leans into different categories through the year.
Candidate pool: counts by CRS band
Where everyone waiting in the Express Entry pool sits across CRS score bands, how those candidate counts have shifted month over month, and the direction they have been heading.
These figures are candidate counts published by IRCC after each draw, not CRS scores. A larger band means more people are competing at that score range. If you are in the 451-500 band, for example, you can see how many other candidates share that range and whether the number has been growing or shrinking. A shrinking high-score band can signal that recent draws have absorbed candidates from the top, while a growing mid-band means more competition at those scores.

These are patterns, not a promise. The predicted CRS is a weighted average of the last 5 draws per category. Score stability reflects how steady recent scores have been and how much data we have. The “next draw” timing and next-round odds come from each category’s past rhythm and mix. None of this is immigration advice, and it can’t tell you your own outcome.
