The October 13 Express Entry draw is the third draw in a row that has been restricted to provincial nominees. The most recent Express Entry draw for any other program occurred on September 14, when Canadian Experience Class candidates were invited.
The next Express Entry draw may again be restricted to provincial nominees, or may instead target candidates in the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), or may finally include candidates from other programs as well. Inconsistent timing in recent draws makes it difficult to predict when the next Express Entry draw may happen and which candidates may be invited in that draw, but results will be posted here as soon as the next Express Entry draw takes place.

Still no word on FSW draws
Candidates in the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) and Federal Skilled Trades (FST) programs have been waiting for a draw since the beginning of 2021 — but to no avail. Many had hoped that once Canada re-opened its borders to fully vaccinated travellers on September 7, that this may have triggered a return to FSW draws, but this hasn’t been the case — at least for now.
In recent weeks, Canadians re-elected the Liberal Government, meaning that immigration policy will likely remain consistent in the months ahead. Learn more in our guide to Canada’s political parties and their approaches to immigration.
Only time will tell what’s in store for Express Entry — and Canadian immigration policy — for the rest of 2021. If and when there is an update, you can trust that it will be posted here.
Remember, Canada does still have certain COVID-19 travel restrictions and special measures in place. Stay up to date on the latest with our COVID-19 Travel Updates.
