How the rounds work
IRCC invites people from the Express Entry pool in rounds. Some rounds are general; most now target a category such as healthcare, trades or French speakers. The lowest score invited in a healthcare round is not comparable to the score in a Canadian Experience Class round, because the pools are different.
We keep the latest rounds here, taken from IRCC’s own data, with the date we retrieved them. We do not predict rounds and we do not know when the next one is.
