We expect 50,000 more invites to be issued this year. Use our resources to get one.
July has been a record-breaking month for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Today’s draw marks the eighth overall draw for the month, making July 2024 the month with the most Express Entry draws ever held.
In addition to leading the board for the number of draws, July 2024 has seen the most invitations issued for any month in 2024.
Here are the monthly totals so far:
January: 3,280
February 16,110
March: 7,305
April: 9,275
May: 5,985
June: 1,499
July: 20,125.
With over 20,125 ITA’s issued this month across 8 draws, IRCC can expect an influx of applications to process over the next 60 days. This could result in extended processing delays for applicants who received an ITA.
With today’s draw, IRCC is also on its way to establishing a schedule for PNP draws, by holding PNP draws every 2 weeks for the last couple of months, resembling pre-Covid Express Entry draws.

This is the third PNP draw this month and the fifth PNP draw so far this year.
In total, 7,759 PNP applicants have received an ITA this year, 3,275 of these in July alone. Today’s draw is comparable to other PNP draws we have seen this year, which are as follows:
If IRCC continues to hold PNP draws every two weeks, we expect the number of ITA’s to be issued to be between 900 and 1500 along with a CRS score of between 650 and 700.
